Title: Nature's Blessing
Contents
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and empty, and darkness was over the deep, and the Spirit of God moved over the waters. … … And God said, Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let him have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over the cattle and over all the earth and over all that creeps on the earth. He created them, male and female, and God blessed them and said to them, Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves on the earth. God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth, and every tree that bears fruit with seed, and it will be your food. And to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the air, and to every creature that creeps on the earth that has life, I give every green grass for food.” And it was so. And God saw all that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day (Genesis 1:1-31).
Today, we worship God at Okryucheon, Biwon, where the royal family walked for the five hundred years of the reign of King Leejo. It was a place that commoners could not even go to at least a hundred years ago, where the king and his maidens defiled it with lavish debauchery. Today, I am moved to think that we are offering a glorious worship to God in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. It's a worthless bar.
First, God built this natural garden and said it was good. Nature is beautiful and beneficial. It is beautiful and good to go up to the sky and look at that sky. You can climb the mountain to see the mountain, or you can go to the sea and see the sea. Spring is good for spring, and summer is good for summer. Fall is good for fall, and winter is good for winter. In winter, it is good to think of spring, and in summer, it is good to think of autumn. No matter where you look, nature is truly a blessing from God. The outside looks good, and the inside looks even better. Nature is a blessing from God.
Humans feed on nature. The earth is a mother's breast. It feeds on the fruits of the earth and breathes the air of the air to live. Just as fish live in water, humans live in nature. Nature is a blessing from God and a great grace bestowed upon man.
God created this nature and said that it was pleasing to the eye. We too must now have the right eyes to see this nature. This nature was created by God, but it was made for good, and it was given with blessings and grace, so we must keep in mind that good nature should be made good. Recently, Professor White, a renowned environmentalist in the United States, in his book 「Natural History」, argued that the environmental issues recently discussed are not those of science and environmental science, but a religious issue that correctly understands the right relationship between nature and humans, and a religious issue. In other words, we can solve environmental problems only when we have the right confession of faith that God created this nature good for humans as blessings and grace.
Finally, God gave man names for all things. To give it a name means to give meaning to its existence. We know that this secret garden is the same as it was back then, 100 years ago, and the secret garden we are in today, but there is a difference between heaven and earth in terms of meaning and content. At that time, at the very least, the place where the king played with the country's maidens in the lustful and lustful lord's forest, this secret garden dreaming of conspiracy techniques has been transformed into a place where good men and fairies worship God holy at this time. A piece of wood is the difference between heaven and earth when it is held by a woodcutter and in the hands of a sculptor. Today, our church should know that the beautiful mountains and streams of Korea were stolen by the prostitutes and prostitutes. We, the Korean church, must re-name this Mountain of Three Thousand Ligangs as the Garden of Jehovah to fulfill the mission of nature salvation.
