God As The Controller Of The Universe (1:26:-31, Amos 9:5-7)

We have learnt in the previous study that God created the world by His power and that everything that God created was good and perfect.

Everything that God created was according to order, He also put man in-charge of His creation.  This shows God is the controller of the world He had created.  God said: “Let us make man in our image after our likeness”, for God to given dominion to man over nature also shows that God was in control of the world.  The dominion that was given to man by God covers the fish of the sea, the birds of the air and all the rest of the animals.  Plants were given to man for food.

Even though God gave man a measure of control over created things.  God is still the ultimate controller of all things He created.  God’s dominion covers everything that He created.

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF GOD AS THE CONTROLLER OF THE UNIVERSE

1. The world did not just appear on its own, God planned for it and created it.
2. God controls the entire world and everything in it.  We should therefore see Him as the ultimate controller of the entire universe.
3. God put man in charge of the His creation.  He made him His representative on earth.
