28 And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” ~ Genesis 1:28
Did you notice God’s commission to Adam and Eve? This is the original Great Commission. To be:
- Fruitful
- To multiply and fill the earth
- And subdue it
We were to get all of this done because God gave us dominion over all of the earth. Everything was placed under our control. Why would God place such power and control in the hands of man?
The short answer is So That He Might Not Suffer Loss.
