Special Message |
Adam was
in a special sense the son of God. "Which was the son of Enos,
which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son
of God." Luke 3:38. He was a son of God in a different sense from
what we are.
The Scripture says,
"Beloved now are we the sons of God." But we are the sons of
God by re-creation; Adam was the son of God by creation in the first
place. He was set here to have dominion over this part of the universe
as God's representative.
"And God said, Let us
make man in our image, after our likeness; and let him have dominion
over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the
cattle, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the
earth." Genesis 1:26. God made Adam His premier, and placed the
dominion in his hands, recognizing him as His representative in this
earth.
