Why is disconnection from nature important for Christians?
Answered in 1 source
Disconnection from nature reflects a misunderstanding of God's creation and our place within it, as emphasized in Romans 1:20.
In Romans 1:20, Paul writes that God's invisible attributes, namely His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived in the things that have been made. This underscores the importance of engaging with nature as a means of experiencing God's revelation. A disconnection from the natural world can lead to a distorted understanding of humanity's relationship with creation and Creator, prompting Christians to recognize their stewardship and the beauty of God's handiwork in the world around them. By immersing themselves in nature, believers can cultivate a deeper appreciation for God's sovereignty and creativity.
