What does the Bible say about beauty of the earth?
Bible Topic · WEB
The Bible teaches that the earth’s beauty is a good gift of God, declaring his wisdom, power, generosity, and glory, and calling us to worship its Creator rather than the creation. Psalm 19:1 says the heavens proclaim God’s glory, while Psalm 50:2 praises the perfection of beauty that shines from Zion. Genesis 1:31 calls God’s completed creation very good, and Ecclesiastes 3:11 says he has made everything beautiful in its time. Psalm 104 rejoices in God’s care for every creature and landscape. Yet creation’s beauty is not ultimate: all things were made through and for Christ and are upheld by him (Colossians 1:16-17; John 1:3).
