Several authors claim that Christians are responsible for the developing ecological problems because they have used the idea of being made “in the image of God” (Gen. 1:26-27) as an excuse to justify exploiting the planet’s resources. Given the changes, Owerri-West is experiencing concerning seasons like rain, harmattan, and dry seasons, the issue of environmental crises is clear. In response to the environmental difficulties in Owerri-West, the article examines God’s presence, also known as the “Immanence of God.” The data for the study was gathered through a literature review done through an analytical-critical discursive approach. The acquired data were examined and synthesized. The article looks at Christian concern for environmental issues in Nigeria and highlights the necessity to accept God’s immanence in nature as a solution for environmental sustainability. It also calls attention to the essential need for environmental protection and sustainability among decision-makers and environmental activists. In light of the preceding, the researchers suggest that it is now time for the residents of Owerri West Local Government Area to focus entirely on the theological implications of environmental issues.

Several authors claim that Christians are responsible for the developing ecological problems because they have used the idea of being made “in the image of God” (Gen. 1:26-27) as an excuse to justify exploiting the planet’s resources. Given the changes, Owerri-West is experiencing concerning seasons like rain, harmattan, and dry seasons, the issue of environmental crises is clear. In response to the environmental difficulties in Owerri-West, the article examines God’s presence, also known as the “Immanence of God.” The data for the study was gathered through a literature review done through an analytical-critical discursive approach. The acquired data were examined and synthesized. The article looks at Christian concern for environmental issues in Nigeria and highlights the necessity to accept God’s immanence in nature as a solution for environmental sustainability. It also calls attention to the essential need for environmental protection and sustainability among decision-makers and environmental activists.
