It is a word that signifies motivation or reason behind an action, frequently appearing in phrases such as "for the sake of" or "for His name's sake." This entry explores the usage and theological implications of "sakes" within the biblical narrative.<br><br><b>Old Testament Usage</b><br><br>In the Old Testament, the concept of doing something "for the sake of" is often tied to God's covenantal promises and His reputation among the nations. For instance, in <a href="/1_samuel/12-22.htm">1 Samuel 12:22</a>, it is stated, "For the LORD will not forsake His people for His great name&#8217;s sake, because it has pleased the LORD to make you a people for Himself." Here, the phrase underscores God's commitment to His people, not based on their merit, but for the sake of His own name and glory.<br><br>Similarly, in <a href="/psalms/23-3.htm">Psalm 23:3</a>, the psalmist declares, "He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness for His name&#8217;s sake." This indicates that God's guidance and restoration are acts that reflect His character and uphold His reputation.<br><br><b>New Testament Usage</b><br><br>In the New Testament, the term "sakes" often appears in the teachings of Jesus and the writings of the apostles, emphasizing the call to discipleship and the sacrifices associated with following Christ. In <a href="/matthew/5-11.htm">Matthew 5:11</a>, Jesus says, "Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me." Here, the phrase "because of Me" can be understood as "for My sake," highlighting the cost of allegiance to Christ.<br><br>Furthermore, in <a href="/romans/8-36.htm">Romans 8:36</a>, Paul writes, "As it is written: 'For Your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.'" This quotation from <a href="/psalms/44-22.htm">Psalm 44:22</a> is used to express the suffering endured by believers for the sake of Christ, underscoring the theme of enduring hardship for the greater purpose of glorifying God.<br><br><b>Theological Implications</b><br><br>Theologically, the concept of "sakes" in the Bible is deeply connected to the idea of living for God's glory and purposes. Actions taken "for the sake of" God or His name are seen as acts of obedience and devotion, reflecting a life oriented towards divine priorities rather than personal gain. This perspective is central to the Christian understanding of discipleship, where believers are called to deny themselves and take up their cross for the sake of Christ (<a href="/matthew/16-24.htm">Matthew 16:24</a>).<br><br>Moreover, the notion of God acting for His name's sake assures believers of His faithfulness and the certainty of His promises. It emphasizes that God's actions are consistent with His character and that His ultimate purpose is the manifestation of His glory throughout the earth.<br><br><b>Conclusion</b><br><br>The use of "sakes" in the Bible serves as a reminder of the motivations behind divine and human actions within the biblical narrative. Whether it is God acting for His name's sake or believers enduring trials for the sake of Christ, the term encapsulates a profound theological truth: that all things are ultimately directed towards the glory and purposes of God.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/1223.htm"><span class="l">1223. dia -- through, on account of, because of</span></a> <br><b>...</b> charge* (1), constantly (1), continually* (6), during (1), forever* (1), gives<br> (1), means (3), over (1), presence (1), reason (40), sake (41), <b>sakes</b> (5), since <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">//strongsnumbers.com/greek2/1223.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 8k</font><p><a href="/greek/5228.htm"><span class="l">5228. huper -- over, beyond, fig. on behalf of, for the sake of <b>...</b></span></a> <br><b>...</b> Usage about (5), above (4), behalf (22), beyond (4), concerning (3), exceed (1),<br> more so (1), more than (5), over (2), regard (1), sake (9), <b>sakes</b> (1), than (3 <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">//strongsnumbers.com/greek2/5228.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 7k</font><a name="heb" id="heb"></a><div class="vheading2">Strong's Hebrew</div><a href="/hebrew/5921.htm"><span class="l">5921. al -- upon, above, over</span></a><br><b>...</b> 1), reason (2), reason* (6), received (1), regard (3), regarding (1), respect (1),<br> responsibility (1), ruthlessly* (1), sake (4), sake* (1), <b>sakes</b> (2), settled <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/hebrew/5921.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 8k</font><a name="lib" id="lib"></a><div class="vheading2">Library</div><p><a href="/library/athanasius/select_works_and_letters_or_athanasius/21_the_saints_fled_for.htm"><span class="l">The Saints Fled for Our <b>Sakes</b>.</span></a> <br><b>...</b> Chapter II. 21.
