BE FRUITFUL AND INCREASE / GENESIS 1:28

(KJV) Genesis 1:28

And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

God commanded man and woman to reproduce and to rule over the earth and the animal kingdom.

1. The union of a man and a woman was to form family relationships. God stated this specific purpose and gave priority to the role of a godly family and the nurturing, or bringing up, of godly children in a world that turns from Him (Ephesians 5:21; Titis 2:4-5).
2. God expected them to consecrate (set apart, commit or reserve) everything on earth to Him. He expected Adam and Eve to take care of it in a way that honored Him (Psalms 8:6-8; Hebrews 2:7-9).
3. God placed the earth’s future under their authority. When they defied God and rejected His instructions, they brought ruin, hardship and suffering to all creation (Genesis 3:14-24; Romans 8:19-22).
4. Jesus Christ alone will restore the earth to its perfect purpose when He returns at the close of history (Romans 8:19-25; 1 Corinthians 15:24-28; Hebrews 2:5-8; Revelation 21:1).
