In Christianity we are encouraged to Love God and our neighbour as ourself. In monotheism generally we are to be unquestioning in our allegiance to God, while loving but also willing to ask questions of his creations. To unquestioningly love his creations is to risk idolisation. In Buddhism we are to pay attention to the creations, all of them but remember their impermanence. In Islam, to love the worl but not too much. Thus, Ultimately all three faiths renounce the world for its limitation and contingency while also encouraging us to guard, steward and generally take care of it.
