How do we know that Jesus has dominion over all creation?
Answered in 1 source
Jesus has dominion over all creation as affirmed in Scripture, including Psalm 8, which states that all things are put under His feet.
The doctrine of Christ's dominion is abundantly affirmed in Scripture. Psalm 8 declares, 'Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of Thy hands; Thou hast put all things under his feet.' This passage illustrates Christ's supreme authority over all creation. Additionally, references in the New Testament, such as Matthew 28:18 where Jesus states, 'All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth,' affirm His sovereign rule. His dominion is not only over mankind but extends to all creation, including angels and even demonic forces. Jesus exercises His authority in the sovereignty of God, as all things are ultimately under His lordship, reflecting His power in maintaining order and purpose within the universe.
