What does the Bible say about animals and nature?
The Bible has a lot to say about animals and nature! For example, in Genesis 1:26, God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
And in Psalm 8:6-8, we read, “You have given him dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet, all sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field, the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes along the paths of the seas.”
So, from these verses, we learn that God has given humans dominion over animals and nature. This means that we are to care for them and use them wisely.
What does the Bible say about plants and animals?
The Bible speaks of plants and animals in many places. For example, in Genesis 1:11-12, 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 so it was. 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.
What scripture does God tell us that plants are for the needs of people and animals?
“And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.” (Genesis 1:29)
