It feels a bit like a public awareness campaign, doesn't it?
Noah and company step off the ark with this command from God, "Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth." (vs 1). His command was the same just a moment before. "...be fruitful and multiply on the earth." (Gen 8:17) After all, who else was going to do it?
 |
| Only you can be fruitful and multiply! |
So what does this command mean for us now? Is it still relevant?
I should think so. Who better to populate the earth than followers of God? Who better to raise up the next generation than followers of God?
God has only blessed my wife and I with one child, but whether we have one child or one hundred children we are still called to demonstrate Christ to them and show them the kind of love our heavenly Father shows us.
Tell me...
What does this command to be fruitful and multiply mean to your family?
Do you think it has any relevancy today?
