Biodiversity refers to every living thing, including plants, bacteria, animals and humans. Greater species diversity ensures natural sustainability for all life forms. The richer the diversity of life, the greater the opportunity for medical discoveries, economic development and adaptive responses to challenges such as climate change. Enhance biodiversity by removing branches that do not bear fruit and pruning branches that bear fruit. Believe in Jesus, the true vine and love one another as Jesus loves us. Philip baptized the eunuch, although he was denied the privilege of procreation, because he believed Jesus was the son of God. God has chosen faithful disciples to spread the good news. Salvation for those that believe, to the glory of God.

Amen.
