I Corinthians 4:2
Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful.

Creation has been placed in our care for all those who come behind us until all is renewed by Christ’s return and full restoration of the new heaven and new earth takes place. As trustees we have duties and obligations that we ignore not only at our own peril, but that of our children, their children and beyond. Part of faith in action is creation care. This verse unambiguously reminds us it is required.
