It is the process by which individuals discern truth, make decisions, and comprehend the world around them. Reason is often seen as a reflection of the divine image in humanity, as humans are created with the ability to think and choose.<br><br><b>Biblical References and Usage:</b> <br>The Bible acknowledges the importance of reason and rational thought. In <a href="/isaiah/1-18.htm">Isaiah 1:18</a>, God invites His people to use reason: "Come now, let us reason together, says the LORD. Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool." This passage highlights the use of reason in understanding and accepting God's offer of forgiveness and redemption.<br><br>In the New Testament, the Apostle Paul frequently engages in reasoning as part of his ministry. <a href="/acts/17-2.htm">Acts 17:2-3</a> describes Paul's method: "As was his custom, Paul went into the synagogue, and on three Sabbath days he reasoned with them from the Scriptures, explaining and proving that the Christ had to suffer and rise from the dead." Here, reason is used to explain and defend the truths of the Gospel.<br><br><b>Reason and Faith:</b> <br>While reason is a valuable tool, it is not the sole means of understanding spiritual truths. The Bible teaches that faith and reason work together. <a href="/hebrews/11.htm">Hebrews 11:1</a> defines faith as "the assurance of what we hope for and the certainty of what we do not see." Faith often transcends human reason, as it involves trust in God's promises and truths that may not be fully comprehensible through logic alone.<br><br><a href="/proverbs/3-5.htm">Proverbs 3:5-6</a> advises believers to "Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight." This passage underscores the importance of relying on God's wisdom above human reasoning.<br><br><b>The Limits of Human Reason:</b> <br>The Bible acknowledges the limitations of human reason, especially in understanding the divine. <a href="/isaiah/55-8.htm">Isaiah 55:8-9</a> states, "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, declares the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts." This highlights the vast difference between God's infinite wisdom and human understanding.<br><br><a href="/1_corinthians/1-20.htm">1 Corinthians 1:20-25</a> further illustrates the limitations of human wisdom in grasping the message of the cross: "Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know Him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe."<br><br><b>Reason in Christian Living:</b> <br>Christians are encouraged to use reason in their daily lives, making decisions that align with God's will. <a href="/romans/12-2.htm">Romans 12:2</a> urges believers, "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God." This transformation involves the use of reason to discern and follow God's will.<br><br><a href="/philippians/4-8.htm">Philippians 4:8</a> provides guidance on the use of reason in thought life: "Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think on these things." Reason is employed to focus on virtuous and godly thoughts.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b> <br>While reason is a significant aspect of human nature, it is to be used in conjunction with faith and submission to God's wisdom. The Bible encourages believers to engage their minds in understanding God's truth while recognizing the supremacy of divine wisdom over human understanding.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.

In the sense of "cause" or "occasion" it stands in <a href="/1_kings/9-15.htm">1 Kings 9:15</a> for dabhar, "a word" (the Revised Version margin "account"), but in most cases renders prepositional forms as "from," "with," "because of," "for the sake," etc. As the ground or argument for anything, it is the translation of ta`am (<a href="/proverbs/26-16.htm">Proverbs 26:16</a>, the Revised Version margin "answers discreetly"), of yakhach, as in <a href="/isaiah/1-18.htm">Isaiah 1:18</a>, "Come now, and let us reason together" (compare <a href="/job/13-3.htm">Job 13:3</a>; <a href="/job/15-3.htm">Job 15:3</a>); in <a href="/1_samuel/12-7.htm">1 Samuel 12:7</a>, the word is shaphaT, the Revised Version (British and American) "that I may plead," etc. The principal Greek words for "reason," "reasoning," are those given above. The Christian believer is to be ready to give a reason (logos) for the hope that is in him (<a href="/1_peter/3-15.htm">1 Peter 3:15</a> the King James Version). "Reason" as a human faculty or in the abstract sense appears in Apocrypha in The Wisdom of Solomon 17:12 (logismos); Ecclesiasticus 37:16, "Let reason (logos) go before every enterprise," the Revised Version (British and American) "be the beginning of every work." In <a href="/acts/18-14.htm">Acts 18:14</a>, "reason would" is literally, kata logon, "according to reason"; in <a href="/romans/12-1.htm">Romans 12:1</a>, for "reasonable (logikos) service," the Revised Version (British and American) has "spiritual," and in the margin "Greek `belonging to the reason.' " In the Revised Version (British and American) "reason," etc., occurs much oftener than in the King James Version (compare <a href="/leviticus/17-11.htm">Leviticus 17:11</a> <a href="/deuteronomy/28-47.htm">Deuteronomy 28:47</a> <a href="/judges/5-22.htm">Judges 5:22</a> <a href="/job/20-2.htm">Job 20:2</a>; <a href="/job/23-7.htm">Job 23:7</a>, etc.; <a href="/luke/3-15.htm">Luke 3:15</a>; <a href="/luke/12-17.htm">Luke 12:17</a> <a href="/acts/17-17.htm">Acts 17:17</a>, etc.).<br><br>W.
