The term is used to explore the benefits of faith, righteousness, and the wisdom of following God's commandments. Old Testament Context The Old Testament frequently addresses the advantages of living a life in accordance with God's laws. In <a href="/bsb/deuteronomy/28.htm">Deuteronomy 28</a>, the blessings for obedience are outlined, promising prosperity, health, and protection for those who follow God's commandments. This passage highlights the tangible advantages of living a life aligned with divine will. In the wisdom literature, such as Proverbs, the advantages of wisdom and understanding are emphasized. <a href="/proverbs/3-13.htm">Proverbs 3:13-14</a> states, "Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, the man who acquires understanding, for she is more profitable than silver, and her gain is better than fine gold." Here, the advantage is not merely material but also spiritual and intellectual, offering a deeper, more fulfilling life. New Testament Context In the New Testament, the concept of advantage shifts more towards spiritual benefits. The Apostle Paul discusses the advantages of being a Jew in <a href="/romans/3.htm">Romans 3:1-2</a> , "What, then, is the advantage of being a Jew? Or what is the value of circumcision? Much in every way. First of all, they have been entrusted with the very words of God." Here, the advantage is seen in the privilege of having received God's revelation. Paul also addresses the advantage of spiritual gifts and the edification of the church in <a href="/bsb/1_corinthians/12.htm">1 Corinthians 12</a>. The gifts of the Spirit are given for the common good, providing an advantage to the community of believers by building up the body of Christ. Moral and Spiritual Advantages The Bible often contrasts the temporary advantages of worldly gain with the eternal advantages of spiritual growth and salvation. Jesus teaches in <a href="/mark/8-36.htm">Mark 8:36</a> , "What does it profit a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?" This rhetorical question underscores the ultimate advantage of prioritizing one's spiritual well-being over material success. The advantage of faith is also highlighted in <a href="/bsb/hebrews/11.htm">Hebrews 11</a>, where the faith of the patriarchs is commended. Their lives demonstrate that the true advantage lies in trusting God's promises, even when immediate benefits are not visible. Practical Applications Believers are encouraged to seek advantages that align with God's will and purpose. The pursuit of righteousness, wisdom, and spiritual growth is consistently portrayed as advantageous. In <a href="/philippians/3-7.htm">Philippians 3:7-8</a> , Paul reflects on his own life, stating, "But whatever was gain to me I count as loss for the sake of Christ. More than that, I count all things as loss compared to the surpassing excellence of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ." This passage illustrates the ultimate advantage of knowing Christ, which surpasses all earthly gains. The believer's focus is thus directed towards eternal rewards and the spiritual advantages of a life devoted to God.<a name="top" id="top"></a><div class="vheading2">Topical Bible Verses</div><a href="/context/romans/3-1.htm">Romans 3:1-3</a> What advantage then has the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision?
