Christian devotionals
In Genesis 1:28, "God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply." God was not just giving mankind a suggestion; He was speaking a powerful principle into existence. This is the same God who created light out of utter darkness just by saying, "Let there be light."
So when God told man, "Be fruitful and multiply," God was creating a universal principle that was as certain as gravity: from that moment forward, man would bear fruit and increase. Of course that applied to having children. But it also applies to man's very nature; whatever was in man's nature would increase and multiply. We see this same principle of increase at work in Isaiah's prophecy of Christ's kingdom. Isaiah said, "Of the increase of His government there shall be no end." That means that the increase will never stop increasing.
God put the same law of increase into place for man. Man's nature and character will always expand. If man's nature is only good, then that principle of multiplying is wonderful. But if sin is introduced, then that same neverending expansion applies to sin, even one itty bitty sin will grow into gigantic ugly proportions. But God has an antidote to that: if grace and redemption are introduced, they will likewise grow forever.
God is limitless,
and He put this limitless expression into man. What we do with it is up
to us.
