Topic: EIGHT BIBLICAL COVENANTS – Part 3

MEMORIZE: “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.”  Genesis 1:28.

SCRIPTURE READING: Genesis 1:26-28.

“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 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.” 

Let us examine these covenants one after the other. 

1. EDENIC COVENANT - Be fruitful 

The Edenic Covenant, the first of the eight great covenants of Scripture which condition life and salvation, and about which all Scripture crystallizes, has seven elements. The man and woman in Eden were responsible:

(1) To replenish the earth with a new order – man;

(2) To subdue the earth to human uses;

(3) To have dominion over the animal creation;

(4) To eat herbs and fruits;

(5) To till and keep the garden;

(6) To abstain from eating of the tree of knowledge of good and evil; 

(7) To know that the penalty of sin is death.

Adam failed in all his responsibilities and was rejected. This became the reason why Jesus Christ, the second Adam was sent to redeem mankind from the captivity of sin and death that the first Adam have sold us into. 

PRAYER POINT: Give Thanks to Jesus Christ for the work of our salvation.
