These statements are foundational to understanding the doctrines, teachings, and historical narratives within the Scriptures. They serve as a means of conveying divine truth, moral guidance, and prophetic insight. Divine Statements God's statements in the Bible are often direct and authoritative, reflecting His sovereignty and holiness. In the Old Testament, God frequently speaks through prophets, delivering commands, promises, and judgments. For example, in <a href="/exodus/3-14.htm">Exodus 3:14</a>, God reveals His eternal nature to Moses with the statement, "I AM WHO I AM." This declaration underscores God's self-existence and unchanging nature. In the New Testament, God's statements are also conveyed through the words of Jesus Christ, who is the Word made flesh (<a href="/john/1-14.htm">John 1:14</a>). Jesus' teachings, parables, and proclamations are central to the New Testament narrative. In <a href="/john/14-6.htm">John 14:6</a>, Jesus makes a profound statement about His identity and mission: "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." Prophetic Statements Prophetic statements in the Bible are messages delivered by prophets who are inspired by the Holy Spirit. These statements often include calls to repentance, warnings of impending judgment, and promises of future restoration. For instance, the prophet Isaiah makes a significant statement about the coming Messiah: "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and the government will be upon His shoulders" (<a href="/isaiah/9-6.htm">Isaiah 9:6</a>). Prophetic statements are not limited to the Old Testament. In the New Testament, the Apostle John records the prophetic visions he received in the Book of Revelation. These statements provide insight into the end times and the ultimate victory of Christ over evil. Apostolic Statements The apostles, as foundational leaders of the early Church, made numerous statements that are recorded in the New Testament. These statements often clarify theological truths, provide ethical instructions, and encourage believers in their faith. The Apostle Paul, in his epistles, makes many doctrinal statements that have shaped Christian theology. For example, in <a href="/romans/10-9.htm">Romans 10:9</a>, Paul states, "If you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." Moral and Ethical Statements The Bible contains numerous moral and ethical statements that guide believers in righteous living. The Ten Commandments, found in <a href="/exodus/20.htm">Exodus 20:1-17</a>, are a foundational set of moral statements given by God to the Israelites. These commandments outline duties to God and fellow humans, emphasizing principles such as honesty, fidelity, and respect for life. In the New Testament, Jesus expands on these moral teachings in the Sermon on the Mount. His statements in <a href="/bsb/matthew/5.htm">Matthew 5-7</a> provide a deeper understanding of the heart and spirit of the law, calling believers to a higher standard of righteousness. Creedal Statements Creedal statements in the Bible summarize core beliefs and doctrines of the Christian faith. These statements are often used in worship and catechesis to affirm the essential truths of Christianity. One of the earliest creedal statements is found in <a href="/1_corinthians/15-3.htm">1 Corinthians 15:3-4</a>, where Paul summarizes the gospel: "Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures." Conclusion The statements found throughout the Bible are integral to understanding the character of God, the mission of Jesus Christ, and the teachings of the Christian faith. They provide believers with a foundation for doctrine, a guide for ethical living, and a source of hope and encouragement.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/3058.htm">3058. loidoreo -- to abuse, revile</a> ... 3058 (from 3060 , "a reviler") -- properly, to say harsh things (make verbal assaults); to ; to spue bitter (tasteless) statements, using , words to demoralize ... //strongsnumbers.com/greek2/3058.htm - 7k<a href="/greek/302.htm">302. an -- usually untranslatable, but generally denoting ...</a> ... 302 () is used about 300 times in the NT, introducing statements that have conditional or hypothetical meaning.].
