Only when all three of these requirements are emphasized-God’s command to “subdue the earth” (or the “Dominion Charter” of Genesis 1:26-28) and God’s command to “disciple all nations” (or the “Great Commission of Matthew 28:18-20) and God’s command “Thy will be done” (or the “Kingdom Vocation” of Luke 11:2)-is “all the counsel of God” (Acts 20:27) being proclaimed. For, having been baptized in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, powerfully driven ever onward by the trinitarian religious basic motive, Christians are to keep the Father’s fundamental Dominion Charter and the Son’s central Great Commission and the Holy Spirit’s terminal Kingdom Vocation to the glory of the one true Triune God alone. And eschatologically, it is only when both the “Dominion Charter” and the “Great Commission” are obeyed that God’s children will overcome the devil by the blood of the Lamb and the Word of their testimony (Rev. 12:11) by keeping the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus and by laboring for Him with comprehensive and abiding works (Rev. 14:12-13) in every field of endeavor, for: “Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God” (ICor. 10:31).
