God's Ocean and Christian Faith

God's creation is wonderfully complex, interdependent, and beautiful. When one views an image of God's earth from outer space, what is most striking is the abundance of water. Throughout both the Hebrew Scriptures and the New Testament, water plays a significant role in helping us understand the nature of God. If fact, the Bible includes over 500 references to the word "water." In the first chapter of Genesis, God first separates the waters into those from above and those from below by forming the solid dome called the sky. then, god creates the earth out of the waters. Only after the water is in place does God put vegetation, animals, and other creatures on the earth. Genesis 1:20 teaches the creation literally comes out of the waters. This ancient narrative is uncannily similar to modern understanding. Science confirms that life as we know it first arose in the water, and in particular, the oceans. Care for God's oceans is an expression of reverence for the cradle of life out of which God created all.
