GOD WANTS HIS CREATION, TO BE FRUITFUL AND MULTIPLY:
Apostle James R, Winfree, Sr, I Am Mandated By The Lord To Cultivate, Enlighten, and Empower, God's Nations Son's And Daughters In His Love. Know this, I'm Not in work or Ministry For Any Income, But I am in God's Work and Ministry to expect Him to say, Well Done, these are the words I'm expecting to hear my Lord God and heavenly Father Jesus Christ, to say!
Bible facts, God had just finished all His creation, ending with His masterpieces, the very first man and woman, when He told them to be fruitful and multiply (Genesis 1:28). The world was now fully created with days and nights, seasons and years, plants and animals, and Adam and Eve; and God set in motion His plan to fill the world He created with people (Isaiah 45:18). The world was Adam and Eve’s inheritance to fill, and, as stated at the beginning of Genesis 1:28, it was God’s blessing for Adam and Eve to have children and work the earth. Commentator Matthew Henry wrote that God blessed the first couple with “a numerous lasting family, to enjoy this inheritance . . . in virtue of which their posterity should extend to the utmost corners of the earth and continue to the utmost period of time.”
Bible truths, God desired Adam and Eve to have many children and for their children to have many children. But fruitfulness also denotes much more. God didn’t intend for Adam and Eve to have children just to have children. In the remainder of Genesis 1:28, we see a useful and desired result: to “fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”
Was the blessing bestowed upon Adam and Eve to be fruitful and multiply also a command for us today? We take this view and refuse all forms of birth control. But if Genesis 1:28 is in fact a command to us as individuals rather than a blessing upon mankind in general, we run into a few problems, especially when looking at the New Testament.
First, Jesus walked the earth for 33 years having no wife to bear children. As a Jew, Jesus was raised according to Jewish laws and customs (Galatians 4:4), and He fulfilled the Law of God perfectly (Matthew 5:17). However, Jesus was physically “fruitful,” and He “multiply,” indicating that Genesis 1:28 is a command for every person to obey. In addition, Jesus said that celibacy is a personal choice, neither condemning it nor praising it above marriage and childbearing (Matthew 19:12).
Second, the Apostle Paul encourages Christ's Believers that it is better to stay single than be married (1 Corinthians 7:38) so that individuals can place their entire focus on serving God (Verses 32–35). Elder Paul affirms that being married is a good thing, but he insists that being single is better in certain circumstances. Under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, the Apostle would not encourage us against bearing fruit and multiplying if that were one of God’s direct commands.
Finally, if being fruitful and multiplying is an express command for all couples to bear children, we run into the problem of infertility. While the Bible does say that children are a blessing from the Lord (Psalm 127:3–5), in Scripture is infertility from God. two of the very same sex can't produce offspring only the opposite sex. God our heavenly Father only wants godly offspring.
We can have lives that are pleasing to God and bring Him glory whether we have children or not in holy marriage. Indeed, we can be spiritually fruitful and multiply the citizens of the Kingdom of God when we obey Jesus’ command to “go and make sons and daughters of God of all nations” (Matthew 28:19). Amen.
