Noah Given Dominion Blessings

In this message I would like to address the subject of man's dominion. I want to speak about the true and real authority and responsibility that God has given to men. For that is what dominion is. God gave this dominion to Noah in this passage, as the 2nd representative head of mankind. What He was saying to Noah, and to all of us here this morning, is that man's dominion, the authority that man has been given to man as an image bearer of God, the highest of all his earthly creation, is one of the great responsibilities that each of us has. Given that this is the case, we should learn to respond individually in terms of our recognizing what we should do, in relation to 3 important areas of our lives. They are – 1st – The dominion of fruitfulness (verses 1, 2, and 7). 2nd – The dominion of food (verses 3, 4). And 3rd – The dominion of executing justice. (verses 5, 6)
