"The Creation, great as it is, is not an end in itself but a means to an end. We come to the earth for a brief period of time, endure our tests and trials, and prepare and move onward and upward to a glorious homecoming. Our thoughts and deeds while here will surely be more purposeful if we understand God's plan and are thankful for and obedient to his commandments."

We should care for the earth as beneficiaries of the divine creation, be wise stewards over it and preserve it for future generations. We should also love and care for one another."We are to be creators in our own right, builders of an individual faith in God, faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and faith in his church. We are to build families and be sealed in holy temples. We are to build the church and kingdom of God upon the earth. We are to prepare for our own divine destiny -- glory, immortality and eternal lives. These supernal blessings can all be ours, through our faithfulness."

It is difficult for mortal minds to comprehend the majesty of the creation.

"I testify that the earth and all life upon it are of divine origin. The Creation did not happen by chance. It did not come ex nihilo (out of nothing). And human minds and hands able to build buildings and create computers are not accidental. It is God who made us and not we ourselves. We are his people. The Creation itself testifies of a creator."
