Title: God's Blessing of Creation
Contents
Alone, eternal and omnipotent God created the heavens and the earth and all things in six days with the word. At the end of the sixth day, God created man in the image and likeness of God and blessed them.
“God blessed them and 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 air and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”
The blessing of growth is giving birth and nurture. It is the blessing of normal conception (pregnancy), childbirth, nurture, and growth and maturation. If you receive this blessing, you will continue to multiply and fill the earth and subdue it. To conquer the earth here is to conquer the earth, not to conquer people.
The next blessing will rule over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and all living creatures that move on the ground.
However, in the 21st century, the world is losing order and being destroyed. The kinds of animals and plants that God created are gradually disappearing. This is not a blessing, but rather a calamity. It is because you have not received God's blessings when you are managing the wrong things.
All things necessary for man to live have been created by God. What to eat, what to wear, what to wear, what to see, what to hear, where to go, what to do, etc. But why are people not satisfied and at peace and not enjoying the happiness that comes with it? In other words, why is the economic life not working properly? This is because they have lost the image of God.
The image of God is the disposition of God, which is ‘holiness’. Because this is lost. This is because people did not live according to God's will, but according to their own desires.
Therefore, if we want to truly enjoy God's blessings today, we must repent of buying our own free will with greed, believe in Jesus, and live holy lives according to the Word of God with the help of God's Spirit.
