Topical Encyclopedia

In the context of the Bible, "showing" often refers to the act of revealing, demonstrating, or manifesting something, whether it be God's will, His character, or His works. This concept is integral to understanding how God interacts with humanity and how individuals are called to live out their faith.

Divine Revelation

The Bible frequently speaks of God "showing" His will and purposes to His people. In the Old Testament, God reveals Himself through various means, including visions, dreams, and direct communication. For instance, inGenesis 12:1, God shows Abram the land He promises to give to his descendants: "The LORD said to Abram, 'Go from your country, your people and your father's household to the land I will show you.'" This act of showing is not merely geographical but also spiritual, as it involves God's covenantal promises.

In the New Testament, the ultimate revelation of God is through Jesus Christ.John 14:9 records Jesus saying, "Anyone who has seen Me has seen the Father." Here, Jesus is the visible manifestation of the invisible God, showing the world the nature and character of the Father.

Miracles and Signs

Miracles in the Bible are often described as signs that show God's power and authority. In the Gospel of John, miracles are specifically referred to as "signs" that reveal Jesus' divine nature.John 2:11 states, "Jesus performed this first sign at Cana in Galilee. He thus revealed His glory, and His disciples believed in Him." These acts of showing are intended to lead people to faith and understanding of who Jesus is.

Moral and Ethical Living

The Bible also emphasizes the importance of believers showing their faith through their actions. InMatthew 5:16, Jesus instructs, "In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." This call to show one's faith through good works is a recurring theme, as seen inJames 2:18: "But someone will say, 'You have faith and I have deeds.' Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds."

God's Love and Compassion

God's love is shown through His actions and His relationship with humanity.Romans 5:8 declares, "But God proves His love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." This demonstration of love is the foundation of the Christian faith, showing the depth of God's compassion and mercy.

Teaching and Instruction

The act of showing is also related to teaching and instruction. In the Great Commission, Jesus commands His disciples to teach others to observe all that He has commanded (Matthew 28:20). This involves showing others the way of Christ through both word and example.

Conclusion

The concept of showing in the Bible encompasses a wide range of meanings, from divine revelation and miraculous signs to ethical living and the demonstration of God's love. Through these various forms of showing, the Bible communicates the ways in which God interacts with humanity and how believers are to reflect His character in the world.
