It is a theme that underscores God's provision, the fruitfulness of His creation, and the spiritual growth expected of believers. Old Testament Context In the Old Testament, the idea of increase is frequently associated with God's covenant promises. For instance, in <a href="/genesis/1-28.htm">Genesis 1:28</a>, God blesses Adam and Eve, saying, "Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it." This command not only pertains to population growth but also to the stewardship and flourishing of creation. Similarly, God's promise to Abraham includes the increase of his descendants: "I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore" (<a href="/genesis/22-17.htm">Genesis 22:17</a>). The increase of the Israelites in Egypt is another significant example. Despite their oppression, <a href="/exodus/1-7.htm">Exodus 1:7</a> notes, "But the Israelites were fruitful and increased abundantly; they multiplied and became exceedingly numerous, so that the land was filled with them." This increase is seen as a fulfillment of God's promise and a testament to His faithfulness. Wisdom Literature In the wisdom literature, increase is often linked to the blessings of wisdom and righteousness. <a href="/proverbs/3-9.htm">Proverbs 3:9-10</a> states, "Honor the LORD with your wealth and with the firstfruits of all your harvest; then your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will overflow with new wine." Here, material increase is connected to honoring God and living according to His principles. Prophetic Literature The prophets also speak of increase, often in the context of restoration and blessing. In <a href="/isaiah/9-7.htm">Isaiah 9:7</a> , the prophecy concerning the Messiah includes the promise of increase: "Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end." This speaks to the eternal and expanding reign of Christ, a theme that resonates with the hope of God's ultimate plan for His people. New Testament Context In the New Testament, the concept of increase takes on a spiritual dimension. John the Baptist, recognizing the supremacy of Christ, declares, "He must increase; I must decrease" (<a href="/john/3-30.htm">John 3:30</a>). This statement reflects the necessary humility and submission to Christ's authority and mission. The parables of Jesus often illustrate the principle of increase in the Kingdom of God. In the Parable of the Talents (<a href="/matthew/25-14.htm">Matthew 25:14-30</a>), the faithful servants are commended for increasing what was entrusted to them, symbolizing the expected growth and productivity in the lives of believers. The early church experienced numerical increase as a sign of God's blessing and the work of the Holy Spirit. <a href="/acts/6-7.htm">Acts 6:7</a> records, "So the word of God continued to spread. The number of disciples in Jerusalem increased rapidly, and a great number of priests became obedient to the faith." Spiritual Growth The apostle Paul frequently writes about spiritual increase, urging believers to grow in their faith and knowledge of Christ. In <a href="/colossians/1-10.htm">Colossians 1:10</a> , he prays that the Colossians "may walk in a manner worthy of the Lord and may please Him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God." This increase in spiritual maturity is a hallmark of the Christian life. Conclusion The biblical theme of increase encompasses both physical and spiritual dimensions, reflecting God's desire for His creation to flourish and for His people to grow in faith and righteousness. Whether through the multiplication of descendants, the expansion of God's Kingdom, or the deepening of personal faith, increase is a testament to God's ongoing work in the world and in the lives of believers.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(imp. & p. p.) of Increase.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/4129.htm">4129. plethuno -- to increase, to be increased</a> ... to increase, to be increased.
