For those who adhere to the Christian faith, such a transformation must begin at the foot of the cross. In honor to our Lord, we should be leading the world by example in responding appropriately to a creation that groans. Christ and Creation is about the fact that God needs to be central to our perspective as we relate to creation.

As the bible teaches, Christ is both the cornerstone of our faith and the Creator of all things; therefore, He is the most appropriate starting point when we think about creation. Since Christ exhorted us to love God wholeheartedly and to love our neighbors as ourselves, we have a divine obligation to glorify the Creation in our treatment of creation, and a profound responsibility to consider how such treatment will impact other people, both now and into the future. Caring for creation finds its firm foundation in the person and work of Christ.
