It is often associated with the acknowledgment of one's deeds, character, or divine favor. In the Scriptures, fame can be seen as both a blessing and a potential pitfall, depending on how it aligns with God's purposes and the individual's response to it. Old Testament References: In the Old Testament, fame is frequently linked to God's actions and the fulfillment of His promises. For instance, the fame of Solomon is highlighted due to his wisdom and the prosperity of his kingdom. In <a href="/1_kings/10.htm">1 Kings 10:1</a>, the Queen of Sheba hears of Solomon's fame and visits him to test his wisdom, which ultimately leads to her acknowledgment of God's blessing upon him: "When the queen of Sheba heard about the fame of Solomon and his relationship to the name of the LORD, she came to test him with hard questions." The fame of the Lord Himself is a recurring theme, as seen in the Exodus narrative. God's deliverance of Israel from Egypt was intended to make His name known among the nations. In <a href="/joshua/9-9.htm">Joshua 9:9</a>, the Gibeonites refer to the fame of the Lord: "Your servants have come from a very distant land because of the fame of the LORD your God. For we have heard reports of Him and all that He did in Egypt." New Testament References: In the New Testament, the fame of Jesus spreads rapidly due to His teachings, miracles, and authority. In <a href="/matthew/4-24.htm">Matthew 4:24</a>, it is recorded: "News about Him spread all over Syria, and people brought to Him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering severe pain, the demon-possessed, those having seizures, and the paralyzed—and He healed them." Jesus' fame, however, is not sought for personal glory but as a testament to His divine mission and the coming of God's kingdom. The apostles also experienced fame as they spread the Gospel. <a href="/acts/2-41.htm">Acts 2:41-47</a> describes the early church's growth and the favor they found with all the people, leading to the Lord adding to their number daily. The fame of the apostles was rooted in their witness to Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit working through them. Theological Implications: Fame in the Bible is often a byproduct of God's work and the faithfulness of His servants. It serves as a tool for God's purposes, drawing attention to His power, wisdom, and love. However, the Scriptures also warn against the pursuit of fame for selfish reasons. <a href="/proverbs/27-2.htm">Proverbs 27:2</a> advises, "Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips." This highlights the importance of humility and the recognition that true honor comes from God. Warnings and Lessons: The Bible provides cautionary tales about the dangers of fame when it leads to pride or distracts from God's will. King Saul's jealousy of David's rising fame (<a href="/1_samuel/18-7.htm">1 Samuel 18:7-9</a>) illustrates how fame can incite envy and lead to destructive behavior. Similarly, the account of the Tower of Babel (<a href="/genesis/11-4.htm">Genesis 11:4</a>) shows humanity's desire to make a name for themselves apart from God, resulting in confusion and dispersion. Conclusion: While fame can be a reflection of God's blessing and an opportunity to glorify Him, it requires careful stewardship. Believers are encouraged to seek God's glory above their own and to use any influence they have to further His kingdom and purposes.<a name="top" id="top"></a><div class="vheading2">Topical Bible Verses</div><a href="/matthew/16-26.htm">Matthew 16:26</a> For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

In the New Testament akoe, "hearing," is "report," so the Revised Version (British and American) (<a href="/matthew/4-24.htm">Matthew 4:24</a>; <a href="/matthew/14-1.htm">Matthew 14:1</a> <a href="/mark/1-28.htm">Mark 1:28</a>); pheme, "word," "rumor," is report, fame in this sense (<a href="/matthew/9-26.htm">Matthew 9:26</a> <a href="/luke/4-14.htm">Luke 4:14</a>); echos, "a sound," "noise" (<a href="/luke/4-37.htm">Luke 4:37</a>, the Revised Version (British and American) "rumor"), and logos, "word" (<a href="/luke/5-15.htm">Luke 5:15</a>, the Revised Version (British and American) "report") have the same meaning; diaphemizo, "to say throughout," "to report publicly" (<a href="/matthew/9-31.htm">Matthew 9:31</a>, "they. spread abroad his fame"), seems to imply fame in the sense of reputation. In 1 Maccabees 3:26, we have "fame" in the sense of reputation, "His fame (onoma, the Revised Version (British and American) "name") came near even to the king"; so 3:41, "heard the fame of them."
