The term can encompass commands, requests, or expectations that carry a sense of urgency or necessity. Divine Demands God's demands are often seen as expressions of His will and commandments, which are intended for the well-being and holiness of His people. In the Old Testament, the Law given to Moses is a primary example of divine demands. These laws were not merely suggestions but were commands that required obedience. For instance, in <a href="/deuteronomy/10-12.htm">Deuteronomy 10:12-13</a>, it is written: "And now, O Israel, what does the LORD your God ask of you but to fear the LORD your God by walking in all His ways, to love Him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and to keep the commandments and statutes of the LORD that I am giving you this day for your own good?" The prophets also conveyed God's demands for justice, mercy, and humility. <a href="/micah/6-8.htm">Micah 6:8</a> succinctly summarizes this: "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?" Human Demands In the Bible, individuals often make demands of God, sometimes in the form of prayers or requests. These demands can reflect a deep faith and reliance on God's power and provision. For example, in the New Testament, Jesus teaches about the importance of persistence in prayer. In <a href="/luke/11-9.htm">Luke 11:9-10</a>, He says, "So I say to you: Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened." However, the Bible also warns against making demands of God that stem from a place of testing or unbelief. In <a href="/matthew/4-7.htm">Matthew 4:7</a>, Jesus responds to Satan's temptation by saying, "It is also written: 'Do not put the Lord your God to the test.'" Interpersonal Demands The Bible also addresses demands made between individuals, often highlighting the importance of justice and fairness. In the context of debts and financial demands, the Bible encourages mercy and compassion. In <a href="/matthew/18-23.htm">Matthew 18:23-35</a>, Jesus tells the parable of the unmerciful servant, illustrating the importance of forgiving others as we have been forgiven by God. Moreover, the Bible speaks to the demands of leadership and service within the community of believers. Leaders are called to serve with humility and integrity, as seen in <a href="/1_peter/5-2.htm">1 Peter 5:2-3</a>: "Be shepherds of God’s flock that is among you, watching over them—not out of compulsion, but because it is God’s will; not out of greed, but out of eagerness; not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock." Conclusion The concept of demand in the Bible encompasses a range of interactions between God and humanity, as well as among individuals. Whether divine or human, demands in the biblical sense often carry a moral or spiritual weight, reflecting the values of justice, mercy, faith, and obedience that are central to the biblical narrative.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
