Earth Day and The Bible

Did you know that trees are mentioned more times in the Bible than any living thing other than God and people? There is a tree on the first and last page of the Bible, and one stands by every important character and theological event in scripture.

The first page of the Bible: Genesis 1 11:12 11 Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.” And it was so. 12 The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.

The last page of the Bible: Revelation 22:14 14 Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city.

While we do not know what the earth will look like 100 years from today, we do know that our future generations will need clean air to breathe, clean water to drink and green trees to walk under. Let’s do our part to get this right. Happy Earth Day. #Earthday #Saveourplanet
