Today is day 43 and we are on the section on the First Article of the Apostles' Creed on God the Father Almighty. Today we are on the third line: “Creator of Heaven and Earth” and studying question 43.
43. How does recognizing God as Creator inform your understanding of his creation?
I acknowledge that God created for his own glory everything that exists. He created human beings, male and female, in his image and appointed us stewards of creation. God’s creation is thus a gift to enjoy as we work and care for it. (Genesis 1:27–28; 2:15; Psalm 8:5–8; Luke 19:11–27; 1 Corinthians 4:1–2)
We will conclude today with Prayer 22. For Stewardship of God's Creation found on page 652 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).
