Knox preaches on the topic of man's dominion over creation based on Genesis 1:26. Dominion or rule is God's purpose for mankind; we rule in a similar manner and nature as God. God rules with a other person centredness. Psalm 8 develops Genesis 1:26, describing the ongoing purpose of God which continues beyond the Fall. Jesus is the fulfilment of God's purpose for mankind first described in Genesis 1:26. Jesus' Kingdom is everlasting in duration. Daniel 7:13 portrays the enthronement of the Son of Man. The Kingdom is said to be reserved for the holy people of the Most High in verse 22. Through Christ, we share in His Kingdom and rule. Holiness involves dwelling in God's presence and imitating Him. Holiness entails sharing in the sufferings of Christ. God does not allow us to suffer beyond our capabilities and endurance. Christ has given us the example of how to approach suffering. We are called to use our gifts for the benefits of others. In imitation of Christ, we are to live a life of faith and obedience, setting our minds on things above. The basis of faith is the word of God. Without God's word we cannot have faith. Jesus' words must be on our hearts.
