It is often associated with divine blessing, approval, and preferential treatment. Favor can manifest in various forms, including protection, provision, and success.<br><br><b>Old Testament Context:</b> <br>In the Old Testament, favor is frequently depicted as a sign of God's blessing and approval. For instance, Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord, which led to his preservation during the flood (<a href="/genesis/6-8.htm">Genesis 6:8</a>: "But Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD"). Similarly, Joseph experienced favor, which resulted in his rise to power in Egypt despite numerous adversities (<a href="/genesis/39-21.htm">Genesis 39:21</a>: "The LORD was with him and extended kindness to him, granting him favor in the eyes of the prison warden").<br><br>Favor is also sought through prayer and righteous living. The psalmists often plead for God's favor, recognizing it as essential for life and prosperity (<a href="/psalms/30-5.htm">Psalm 30:5</a>: "For His anger is fleeting, but His favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may stay the night, but joy comes in the morning").<br><br><b>New Testament Context:</b> <br>In the New Testament, favor continues to be a significant theme, particularly in the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. Mary, the mother of Jesus, is described as having found favor with God, leading to her role in the incarnation (<a href="/luke/1-30.htm">Luke 1:30</a>: "So the angel told her, 'Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God'").<br><br>The early church also experienced favor, both with God and with people, which contributed to its growth and influence (<a href="/acts/2-47.htm">Acts 2:47</a>: "praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved").<br><br><b>Theological Significance:</b> <br>Favor is often linked to the concept of grace, which is unmerited favor from God. It underscores the belief that God's blessings are not earned by human effort but are given out of His love and mercy. This is evident in the doctrine of salvation, where believers receive God's favor through faith in Jesus Christ, not by works (<a href="/ephesians/2-8.htm">Ephesians 2:8-9</a>: "For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast").<br><br><b>Practical Implications:</b> <br>Believers are encouraged to seek God's favor through prayer, obedience, and humility. <a href="/proverbs/3-3.htm">Proverbs 3:3-4</a> advises, "Let loving devotion and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will find favor and high regard in the sight of God and man."<br><br>Favor is also seen as a call to extend grace and kindness to others, reflecting God's character in human relationships. This aligns with the teachings of Jesus, who emphasized love and mercy as central to the Christian life.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b> <br>While favor is a divine gift, it also calls for a response of faithfulness and gratitude. It is both a present reality and a future hope, as believers anticipate the ultimate favor of eternal life with God.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.

Alternating in English Versions of the Bible with "grace," it is used chiefly of man, but sometimes also of God (<a href="/genesis/18-3.htm">Genesis 18:3</a>; <a href="/genesis/30-27.htm">Genesis 30:27</a>; <a href="/genesis/39-21.htm">Genesis 39:21</a> <a href="/exodus/3-21.htm">Exodus 3:21</a> <a href="/2_samuel/15-25.htm">2 Samuel 15:25</a>, "in the eyes of Yahweh," etc.). It is used perhaps in the sense of "countenance" in <a href="/proverbs/31-30.htm">Proverbs 31:30</a>, "Favor is deceitful, and beauty is vain" (the King James Version), where for "favor" the Revised Version (British and American) has "grace"; the reference is to external appearance. "Favored" is used in the sense of "appearance" in the phrase "well-favored" (<a href="/genesis/29-17.htm">Genesis 29:17</a>; <a href="/genesis/39-6.htm">Genesis 39:6</a>; <a href="/genesis/41-2.htm">Genesis 41:2, 4</a>).; conversely, "ill-favored" (<a href="/genesis/41-3.htm">Genesis 41:3, 4</a>). For "favor" the Revised Version (British and American) has "have pity on" (<a href="/psalms/109-12.htm">Psalm 109:12</a>), "good will" (<a href="/proverbs/14-9.htm">Proverbs 14:9</a>), "peace" (<a href="/songs/8-10.htm">Songs 8:10</a>); the English Revised Version "grace" (<a href="/ruth/2-13.htm">Ruth 2:13</a>), the American Standard Revised Version "kindness" (<a href="/esther/2-17.htm">Esther 2:17</a> <a href="/daniel/1-9.htm">Daniel 1:9</a>), etc. In the American Standard Revised Version "the acceptable year of the Lord" (<a href="/isaiah/61-2.htm">Isaiah 61:2</a>) is changed Into "the year of Yahweh's favor"; "Do I now persuade men" (<a href="/galatians/1-10.htm">Galatians 1:10</a>) into, "Am I now seeking the favor of men," and there are other the Revised Version (British and American) changes.<br><br>W.
