The term "Agreeth" does not appear as a specific entry in the canonical texts of the Bible, nor is it recognized as a proper noun or significant term within traditional biblical scholarship. However, the concept of agreement, which may be related to the term "agreeth," is a recurring theme throughout the Scriptures and is integral to understanding biblical teachings on unity, covenant, and the communal life of believers.
Biblical Context of Agreement1.
Unity Among Believers: The Bible emphasizes the importance of agreement and unity among believers. In
Matthew 18:19-20 , Jesus states, "Again, I tell you truly that if two of you on the earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by My Father in heaven. For where two or three gather together in My name, there am I with them." This passage highlights the power of collective agreement in prayer and the presence of Christ among those who are united in His name.
2.
Covenantal Agreement: The concept of agreement is foundational in the biblical understanding of covenants. Throughout the Old Testament, God establishes covenants with His people, such as the Abrahamic, Mosaic, and Davidic covenants, which are agreements that define the relationship between God and His people. In
Genesis 17:2 , God says to Abraham, "I will establish My covenant between Me and you, and I will multiply you exceedingly." These covenants are divine agreements that require faithfulness and obedience from the people.
3.
Agreement in the Early Church: The early church is depicted as a community of believers who were in agreement with one another, sharing all things in common and living in harmony.
Acts 2:44-47 describes this unity: "All the believers were together and had everything in common. Selling their possessions and goods, they shared with anyone who was in need. With one accord, they continued to meet daily in the temple courts and to break bread from house to house, sharing their meals with gladness and sincerity of heart, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people."
4.
Theological Implications: Agreement among believers is not merely a social or practical matter but has deep theological implications. It reflects the unity of the Trinity and the oneness of the body of Christ. In
John 17:21 , Jesus prays for His followers, "that all of them may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I am in You. May they also be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me." This prayer underscores the spiritual significance of agreement and unity as a testimony to the world.
5.
Moral and Ethical Agreement: The Bible also calls for agreement in moral and ethical matters, urging believers to be of one mind in their pursuit of righteousness.
Philippians 2:2 exhorts, "then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being united in spirit and purpose." This call to like-mindedness is a call to align with the teachings and example of Christ.
In summary, while "Agreeth" as a term may not be explicitly found in the Bible, the concept of agreement is deeply woven into the fabric of biblical teaching, emphasizing unity, covenantal faithfulness, and the collective witness of the church.
