A New Life

Genesis 9:1-7

1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
2 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.
3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.
4 But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
5 And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man.
6 Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.
7 And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.

God told man to procreate.

Then He told man that all the animals would fear man and run away from man, but man has dominion over them. And, man can eat them and get his nourishment from them, just as he had the fruits and vegetables up until now.

God told man that he was allowed to kill and eat all the animals, but that he was NOT allowed to kill another human being. If man did so, the punishment would be sure and severe. God said that if a man kills another man, he would die either at the hand of another man or animal.

God said man was made in His image to live; therefore, he was to go and procreate.

God gives us all life and creativity. We are to create as long as we are on this earth. Anything that interferes with our creativity is to be shunned.

God gave us all the earth as a gift. We must obey and give thanks for all we have to be creative with!
