17. With Great Love Comes Great Responsibilities
The Lord said, “And now we will make human beings,
they will be like us and resemble us. They will have
power over the fish, the birds, and all animals,
domestic and wild, large and small.” So God created
human beings, making them to be like Himself. He
created them male and female, blessed them and
said, “Have many children, so that your descendants
will live all over the Earth and bring it under their
control. I am putting you in charge of the fish, the
birds, and all the wild animals. I have provided all
kinds of grain and all kinds of fruit for you to eat,
but for all the wild animals and for all the birds I
have provided grass and leafy plants for food.”

18. Gen 2:15
“Then the Lord God placed man in the Garden of
Eden to cultivate it and guard it.”

and protect, to till and take care of His garden,

It is not a coincidence that we are here
