Creation: God the maker, sentence 3
God gives people the job of looking after the earth, like caretakers in a borrowed house, not owners who may use everything up.
Who acts: God, job, owners · What happens: give, look, borrow, use up · To what, where: job, people, everything
This is a sentence of the lesson «Creation: God the maker» of the religion ethics course of Mova's primary school.
