Colossians 1:28 unto Genesis 1:28 God created Man in His Image to be fruitful, multiply, fill, subdue, and rule – the first Great Commission (Gen. 1:26-28). By being subdued by the enemy, Adam and Eve failed. This is why the Son of God became flesh: so that God’s word (Gen. 1:26-28) would not fail. God’s purposes cannot be thwarted. An Image-bearing Man will subdue and rule, even if the Son of God has to become a Man and die on a Cross to do it! Jesus Christ defeated sin, Satan, sickness, and death. Jesus Christ subdued. As a resurrected victor, He said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me” (Mt. 28:18). Jesus Christ rules over all. Having ascended to the throne of God, Jesus poured His Holy Spirit into His disciples. Jesus Christ is fruitful, multiplying, and filling. The King will return soon to rid the planet of evil, so that the glory of God will fill all things in all ways. In the meantime, we have been commanded to obey His restatement of the Great Commission: “Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age” (Mt. 28:19-20). So, we write. We do Colossians 1:28 unto Genesis 1:28. We proclaim Christ and our position in Christ, so that the Church may be equipped to fulfill her original commission in Him. May God’s Name be hallowed, His Kingdom come, and His will be done on earth as in heaven! These booklets are free online and in print (optional donation).

Light Shines in the Darkness Scripture Interpreting the Spiritual Drama of Genesis 1:2-3 Download Online Version Request Printed Booklet As a supplement to The Basics and The Kingdom of God, this booklet details the Scriptures which led us to believe Genesis 1:2 records the result of judgment upon Satan and his rebellious angels when God cast them to the earth.
