God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it.
God speaking to human beings (us) in Genesis 1:28, NIV

In Genesis, God gives what we might call the first job description: "Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it." The first phrase, "be fruitful and multiply" means to develop the social world: build families, churches, schools, cities, governments, laws. The second phrase, "subdue the earth," means to harness the natural world: plant crops, build bridges, design computers, compose music. This passage is sometimes called the Cultural Mandate because it tells us that our original purpose was to create cultures, build civilizations-nothing less.
Nancy Pearcey, from her book,Total Truth

There is not a square inch in the whole domain of our human existence over which Christ, who is sovereign over all, does not cry 'Mine!"
Thinker Abraham Kuyper, 1837-1920
