God created our world by merely speaking. He said, "let there be light!" and light came to be. He called forth the Earth and all its beauty - from the clouds to the oceans to the mountains. He then created people and told them to rule over the Earth and to take care of it. The Earth is filled with both the glory of God and people who He made in His likeness. It is these people whom He loved the most and sent His Son, Jesus, to die for. In the end, the mountains, oceans, and clouds will all be remade, but God's people will live a second life forever, and it is our job to tell them about the great gift of salvation so they'll live in on a New Earth with their Creator, forever.
