It is often associated with justice, righteousness, and the divine will of God. The concept of cause is integral to understanding the moral and spiritual dimensions of biblical teachings.<br><br><b>Divine Cause</b><br><br>The Bible frequently attributes causes to the will and purpose of God. In <a href="/isaiah/46-10.htm">Isaiah 46:10</a>, God declares, "I declare the end from the beginning, and ancient times from what is still to come. I say, &#8216;My purpose will stand, and all My good pleasure I will accomplish.&#8217;" This verse underscores the sovereignty of God in orchestrating events according to His divine plan.<br><br><b>Human Cause</b><br><br>Human actions and their causes are also a significant theme in the Bible. The motives behind human behavior are often scrutinized, with a call for alignment with God's righteousness. <a href="/proverbs/16-2.htm">Proverbs 16:2</a> states, "All a man&#8217;s ways are pure in his own eyes, but his motives are weighed by the LORD." This highlights the importance of examining the underlying causes of one's actions in light of divine standards.<br><br><b>Justice and Legal Causes</b><br><br>The Bible places a strong emphasis on justice and the fair treatment of individuals, particularly in legal matters. <a href="/exodus/23-6.htm">Exodus 23:6</a> instructs, "You shall not deny justice to the poor in their lawsuits." This command reflects the biblical mandate to uphold justice and righteousness in all causes, ensuring that the vulnerable are not wronged.<br><br><b>Cause and Effect</b><br><br>The principle of cause and effect is evident throughout Scripture, where actions lead to consequences. <a href="/galatians/6-7.htm">Galatians 6:7</a> warns, "Do not be deceived: God is not to be mocked. Whatever a man sows, he will reap in return." This verse illustrates the biblical understanding that actions have repercussions, both positive and negative, based on their causes.<br><br><b>Righteous Causes</b><br><br>The Bible encourages believers to pursue righteous causes, aligning their actions with God's will. <a href="/micah/6-8.htm">Micah 6:8</a> encapsulates this call: "He has shown you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?" This verse serves as a guiding principle for living a life dedicated to just and merciful causes.<br><br><b>Causes of Suffering</b><br><br>The Bible addresses the causes of suffering, often attributing them to sin, human fallibility, or divine testing. In the Book of Job, Job's suffering is explored as a test of faith, with God allowing trials to refine and strengthen his character. <a href="/job/1-21.htm">Job 1:21</a> reflects Job's understanding of divine sovereignty: "The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away. Blessed be the name of the LORD."<br><br><b>Conclusion</b><br><br>The concept of cause in the Bible is multifaceted, encompassing divine purposes, human motives, justice, and the consequences of actions. It calls believers to examine their motives, pursue righteousness, and trust in God's sovereign plan.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
