The Importance of Animals, According to the Bible

Animals Are Important Because The Bible Says God Never Forgets Them

Ultimately, all animals belong to God (Ps 24:1, 50:7–11). Accordingly, a few verses state or imply that God never forgets animals. These verses indicate that the Lord values and places importance on them regardless of how little humans do. For instance, Luke 12:6 states, ‘Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God.’ Likewise, Matthew 10:29 states, ‘Are not two sparrows sold for a small coin? Yet not one of them falls to the ground without your Father’s knowledge.’ Therefore, humans should value and place importance on animals just as the Lord does (5:48).
