Bible Question:
Exodus 9:16, "But for this very purpose have I let you live, that I might show you My power, and that My name may be declared throughout all the earth." This passage contains the concept of fame. God's purpose was to cause the worldwide proclamation of his name. I know a Christian young person who would like to become famous. What, do you know, does the Bible teach about human fame? I'm not interested in "spiritual" or pietistic answers. Such answers I can anticipate. Just give me the biblical data and your summary of that data. Peace, |
Bible Answer: Hello Lionstrong Here's the biblical data: Jeremiah 9:23-24 (ESV) Thus says the Lord: "Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches, [24] but let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth. For in these things I delight, declares the Lord." Micah 6:8 (ESV) He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? From these I must assume that fame may come but is never to be sought. Steve |
