The term "regarding" in the context of the Bible often pertains to the consideration or treatment of specific topics, individuals, or principles as they are presented in the Scriptures. This entry explores various aspects and themes that are frequently addressed in the Bible, providing insight into how they are regarded within the biblical narrative.
1. Regarding God:The Bible consistently emphasizes the importance of understanding and acknowledging the nature and character of God. In
Deuteronomy 6:4-5 , it is written, "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is One. And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength." This passage underscores the monotheistic belief central to the faith and the call to love and serve God wholeheartedly.
2. Regarding Jesus Christ:The New Testament provides extensive teachings regarding Jesus Christ, His divinity, and His role as Savior. In
John 1:14 , it states, "The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth." This verse highlights the incarnation of Christ and His unique position as the Son of God.
3. Regarding the Holy Spirit:The Holy Spirit is regarded as the Comforter and Guide for believers. In
John 14:26 , Jesus promises, "But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have told you." This assurance emphasizes the role of the Holy Spirit in teaching and guiding the followers of Christ.
4. Regarding Scripture:The Bible itself is regarded as the inspired Word of God.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 affirms, "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for instruction, for conviction, for correction, and for training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be complete, fully equipped for every good work." This passage highlights the authority and purpose of Scripture in the life of a believer.
5. Regarding Faith:Faith is a central theme in the Bible, regarded as essential for salvation and a relationship with God.
Hebrews 11:1 defines faith as "the assurance of what we hope for and the certainty of what we do not see." This chapter further illustrates the lives of those who lived by faith, serving as examples for believers.
6. Regarding Love:Love is regarded as the greatest commandment and the fulfillment of the law. In
1 Corinthians 13:13 , Paul writes, "And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love; but the greatest of these is love." This passage emphasizes the preeminence of love in the Christian life.
7. Regarding Sin:Sin is regarded as a fundamental problem that separates humanity from God.
Romans 3:23 states, "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." This acknowledgment of universal sinfulness underscores the need for redemption through Christ.
8. Regarding Salvation:Salvation is regarded as a gift from God, made possible through faith in Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 2:8-9 declares, "For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast." This passage highlights the grace of God as the basis for salvation.
9. Regarding the Church:The Church is regarded as the body of Christ, a community of believers called to worship and serve God. In
Ephesians 4:4-6 , Paul writes, "There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all." This unity is central to the identity and mission of the Church.
10. Regarding the End Times:The Bible contains numerous prophecies regarding the end times, emphasizing the return of Christ and the establishment of God's kingdom. In
Revelation 22:12 , Jesus declares, "Behold, I am coming soon, and My reward is with Me, to give to each one according to what he has done." This promise of Christ's return serves as a source of hope and motivation for believers to live faithfully.
