• Knox speaks on the dominion of mankind described in Genesis 1:26. God has given humans a personal nature and gifts to relate to both fellow humans and to Himself. God does not give humans the power to rule over one another. He expresses His dominion over Creation through love, goodness, and care, and humans are likewise expected to reflect these qualities in their exercise of dominion. Due to sin, the God-given dominion of humanity has been usurped by Satan. God’s purpose in giving mankind dominion was fulfilled in Christ, who exercises God’s dominion fully. Psalm 8 reflects on the Genesis creation account, contemplating the mystery of God’s gift to humanity and our exaltation. This meditation is referenced in 1 Corinthians 15:27, describing the subjugation of all things in Christ. Ephesians 1:22 and Hebrews 2:8 likewise find fulfillment of Psalm 8’s reflection upon Creation in Christ. Adam’s dominion was restricted to Creation, while Christ’s dominion is over all things, in heaven and on earth. Through Christ, believers share in His reign and rule. Daniel 7 depicts the overthrow of Satan’s worldwide dominion and the ascendency and enthronement of the Son of Man as ruler. Christ exercises His rule through love and achieves victory through His unchanging and unwavering faith. For believers, Christ is the pioneer of faith. Like Christ, believers will suffer in the world as they engage in the same conflict experienced by Him.
