In the context of the Bible, it is used to describe actions or events that occur repeatedly or habitually. While the word "oft" itself may not appear frequently in modern translations, the concept it represents is prevalent throughout Scripture, illustrating the regularity and consistency of certain actions, behaviors, or divine interventions.<br><br><b>Biblical Usage and Context</b><br><br>1. <b>Prayer and Worship</b>: The Bible emphasizes the importance of regular prayer and worship. Believers are encouraged to engage in these practices frequently as a means of maintaining a close relationship with God. For instance, in the New Testament, the early church is described as being devoted to prayer and the breaking of bread (<a href="/acts/2-42.htm">Acts 2:42</a>). The concept of praying "oft" is implicit in passages that encourage believers to "pray without ceasing" (<a href="/1_thessalonians/5-17.htm">1 Thessalonians 5:17</a>).<br><br>2. <b>Divine Intervention</b>: The Scriptures recount numerous instances where God intervenes in the lives of His people. These interventions are often described as occurring repeatedly, demonstrating God's continual involvement and faithfulness. For example, the Israelites experienced God's deliverance "oft" during their journey from Egypt to the Promised Land, as seen in the repeated provision of manna (Exodus 16).<br><br>3. <b>Rebuke and Correction</b>: The Bible also speaks to the frequent need for rebuke and correction, both from God and within the community of believers. <a href="/proverbs/29.htm">Proverbs 29:1</a> warns, "A man who remains stiff-necked after much reproof will suddenly be shattered beyond recovery." This highlights the concept of "oft" in the context of repeated admonitions intended to guide individuals back to righteousness.<br><br>4. <b>Sin and Repentance</b>: Human nature's propensity to sin is a recurring theme in the Bible, necessitating frequent repentance. The cycle of sin, judgment, repentance, and restoration is evident throughout the history of Israel, as seen in the Book of Judges, where the Israelites "did evil in the sight of the LORD" repeatedly, leading to cycles of oppression and deliverance (<a href="/judges/2-11.htm">Judges 2:11-19</a>).<br><br>5. <b>Teaching and Instruction</b>: The Bible underscores the importance of regular teaching and instruction in the ways of the Lord. <a href="/deuteronomy/6-7.htm">Deuteronomy 6:7</a> instructs, "And you shall teach them diligently to your children and speak of them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up." This passage reflects the concept of "oft" in the context of continual education in God's commandments.<br><br><b>Theological Implications</b><br><br>The concept of "oft" in the Bible underscores the importance of consistency and perseverance in the Christian life. Whether in prayer, worship, teaching, or repentance, the frequent repetition of these actions is vital for spiritual growth and maturity. It reflects a life committed to following God's will and maintaining a steadfast relationship with Him. The regularity of divine intervention and correction also serves as a reminder of God's enduring presence and faithfulness to His people.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
