Be Fruitful and Have Dominion (Gen 1:28)

Genesis 1 reveals that God’s first action toward living beings is blessing. We have been created for blessing. Fr. John explains that the way we remain in blessing is by being fruitful and having dominion, God’s first commands in the Bible. Hence, we understand that God blesses our fruitfulness and dominion, and therefore, we should be more fruitful and have more dominion.
