This concept is rooted in the idea of stewardship, where humans are seen as caretakers of the earth, accountable to God for their management of His creation. Biblical Foundation The concept of dominion is first introduced in the Book of Genesis. In <a href="/genesis/1-26.htm">Genesis 1:26-28</a> , God declares His intention to create humanity in His image and grants them dominion over the earth: "Then God said, 'Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness, to rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, and over all the earth itself and every creature that crawls upon it.' So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. God blessed them and said to them, 'Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and every creature that crawls upon the earth.'" Theological Implications Dominion implies a God-given authority that is both a privilege and a responsibility. It is not a license for exploitation or abuse but a call to stewardship and care. The biblical mandate for dominion is closely tied to the concept of being made in the image of God, which suggests that humans are to reflect God's character in their rule over creation. This includes exercising justice, mercy, and wisdom. Humanity's Role The role of humanity in exercising dominion is further elaborated in <a href="/psalms/8-6.htm">Psalm 8:6-8</a> : "You made him ruler of the works of Your hands; You have placed everything under his feet: all sheep and oxen, and even the beasts of the field, the birds of the air and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas." This passage underscores the comprehensive nature of human dominion, extending to all living creatures and the environment. New Testament Perspective In the New Testament, the concept of dominion is expanded to include spiritual authority. Jesus Christ, as the second Adam, exemplifies perfect dominion through His life, death, and resurrection. Believers are called to share in this dominion, not only over creation but also in spiritual realms. <a href="/ephesians/1-22.htm">Ephesians 1:22-23</a> states, "And God put everything under His feet and made Him head over everything for the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all." Ethical Considerations The exercise of dominion carries ethical implications. It calls for a balance between use and preservation, ensuring that the needs of the present do not compromise the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. This stewardship ethic is reflected in the biblical principle of Sabbath rest for the land (<a href="/leviticus/25-4.htm">Leviticus 25:4-5</a>) and the call to care for the poor and marginalized, who are often most affected by environmental degradation. Conclusion While dominion grants authority, it also demands accountability. Humans are to exercise their dominion in a way that honors God, respects His creation, and serves the common good. This biblical understanding of dominion challenges believers to reflect God's character in their interactions with the world, promoting a vision of stewardship that is both responsible and redemptive.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
