What Christianity Teaches Us About Human Responsibility Toward the World
In the book of Genesis, it tells us that God created the world. He put
love and care into creating a world that we could live in. The first
humans were told to act as stewards and were given the responsibility
of looking after the world and all its creatures. This means that we
still now, have many responsibilities towards the world, including
humans.
The definition of poverty is 'the state of being very poor' but is
there such thing as poverty or is it just inequality? There is a
famous quote, which says: 'the earth has enough for everyman's need
but not enough for everyman's greed.' This tells us that God created
enough for every man; all we have to do is share it equally.
A Christian can learn about their responsibilities towards the world
from the bible. When the bible teaches about the right ways to behave,
the main idea is the way in which we treat each other. Jesus has love
and compassion for the poor and condemns those who do nothing to help
them. We are taught to do as Jesus did. This means that we should help
those in need. The bible teaches us that we cannot have genuine love
for God if we are ignoring people in need at the same time. (John
3:17) We are taught to help the poor so that they can continue to live
among us .We must help them, not exploit them. (Leviticus 25)
Christians believe that God will judge them on whether or not they
helped the poor. This is shown in the parable of the sheep and goats
(Mathew 25). God says that when man helps one of his least important
brothers they are really helping him. In other words, when you help

that we must not give false evidence against our neighbour to get what
we want.
In conclusion, I believe that the third world communities' problems
are not just their own fault. They were created by others who were
selfish and only thought about themselves. If it wasn't for some
countries taking away all the wealth and natural resources, then third
world countries would be much richer right now and more able to sort
out their problems. However this all happened in the past, these less
developed countries cannot spend the rest of eternity blaming others,
whoever's fault it may be. The world should pull together and help
each other. Christians believe that we should help each other and
treat each other as we would like to be treated. Therefore, the 3rd
worlds problems are not just their own they are everyone's.

The Modern day Jesus would have compassion for any of his people in need, just like he did all those years ago. Jesus can be found on the streets with the poor and in the buildings serving food. Jesus could be seen amongst his people providing them with food, clothing, and shelter. He will sit with them and share his love for them. “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.” –Mark 10:45
verses. In essence, God has told us to take care of the world for him
In the Hebrew Scriptures, The Book of Genesis, also known at the Bible, it talks about how God is creating the earth.

In Genesis, god created merely by speaking. It was god who created the heavens and earth also known as cosmos. Water was already pre-existent matter; everything else was created by god. It all began when god spoke in the darkness and said let there be light and there was light. God saw that the light was good. During the day there would be light, and the darkness would be at night. By the second and third day, god created a firmament (dome) which separated the waters from the waters. God called the firmament heaven and said that all the waters under heaven should be gathered as one allowing for dry land to appear. This created one place for the water and another place for dry land. It was the dry land that beca...
"The purpose of developing a Christian view of the world is not merely to evaluate and judge the world, but to change it," (Boa, 2004). Having a Christian worldview is hard enough in American but add in the entire world and it can be a little trickier. Thinking Christianly has a major impact on how someone would do business overseas, in a global economy. When it comes to a Christian worldview in a global economy there are numerous issues that can come up. Different countries and cultures have different things that they deem acceptable; however, when you are looking at it from a Christian standpoint you may have to handle things in a different manner. Just because something is acceptable or legal in the world does not make it acceptable to someone with a Christian worldview. John 17:17 says that, "The word is truth," so when one is looking for direction and guidance in any aspect of business he will always know that the word of God is truth that he can turn to.

Truth about creation is found only in the Bible (Ryrie 206). The first verse of the Bible Genesis 1:1, In the beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth, is an absolute statement.
For all intents and purposes, there are two views of the beginning of the universe. One of these is the creation told in chapters one and two of Genesis. Genesis confirms that God created the Heavens and the Earth on the first day of the first week of Earth’s history.
Every day God created something new and blesses it. God created nothing irrelevant or unworthy. Entirely everything he created served a purpose. Also all he had created came from nothing. The fish were undeniably produced out of the waters, and the beasts and man out of the earth; but that earth and those waters were made out of nothing. God created what is known as the world today and everything that exists on the earth. Reading Genesis 1 gives all mankind an idea of how life started and how the earth was formed to be this magnificent place. The earth is very complicated yet God could solve all of the problems and create blessings. He gave us light and darkness, day and night, water and land. He created all living creature including mankind.
