The contemporary societies of this fast paced world have witnessed some incredulous changes and precocious developments that of late. The recent upsurge and proliferation in the development activities has caused a sudden seismic disturbance on the resources of the earth. It is quite hard to jettison the usage of resources in order to foster the development activities while keeping in mind the myriad requirements of the modern world. In a bid to utilize the earth�s resources carefully as well as to fuel the developments of the 21st century world, the term �Sustainable Development� has been brought to the limelight. Over the years, the think tank of policy makers and environmental activists has been mulling over to fine tune the practice of Sustainable Development in order to preserve and sustain Mother Nature. But a challenging 17 Sustainable Development Goals coupled with 169 associated targets is always an arduous task. Keeping these challenges in mind, Christianity has emerged as an antecedent to provide a fillip towards promoting and integrating Sustainable Development activities. This research study intends to explore how Christianity and the activities of the churches and Christian institutions rooted in the teachings of Lord Jesus Christ is serving the purpose of promoting sustainable development by reflecting upon some key Biblical verses.
