These boundaries are evident in the natural order and the moral laws given to humanity. In <a href="/genesis/1-9.htm">Genesis 1:9</a>, God sets physical boundaries: "And God said, 'Let the waters under the heavens be gathered into one place, so that the dry land may appear.' And it was so." This act of creation demonstrates God's authority in setting limits within the natural world.<br><br>The concept of divine limits is also seen in God's covenant with Noah after the flood. In <a href="/genesis/9-11.htm">Genesis 9:11</a>, God promises, "I establish My covenant with you: Never again will all life be cut off by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth." Here, God sets a limit on the extent of His judgment through a flood, establishing a boundary for the preservation of life.<br><br><b>Human Limitations</b><br><br>The Bible acknowledges the limitations of human understanding and strength. In <a href="/isaiah/55-8.htm">Isaiah 55:8-9</a>, God declares, "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, declares the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so My ways are higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts." This passage highlights the vast difference between divine wisdom and human understanding, reminding believers of their finite nature.<br><br>The Apostle Paul also speaks to human limitations in <a href="/2_corinthians/12-9.htm">2 Corinthians 12:9</a>, where he recounts God's response to his plea for relief from a "thorn in the flesh": "But He said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is perfected in weakness.'" Here, Paul acknowledges his own limitations and finds strength in God's sufficiency.<br><br><b>Moral and Ethical Limits</b><br><br>Scripture provides moral and ethical boundaries for believers, guiding them in righteous living. The Ten Commandments, found in <a href="/exodus/20.htm">Exodus 20:1-17</a>, serve as a foundational set of limits on behavior, instructing God's people in their relationship with Him and with others. These commandments establish clear boundaries, such as prohibitions against murder, theft, and adultery.<br><br>In the New Testament, Jesus expands on these moral limits, emphasizing the spirit of the law. In <a href="/matthew/5-21.htm">Matthew 5:21-22</a>, He teaches, "You have heard that it was said to the ancients, 'Do not murder,' and 'Anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.' But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment." Jesus underscores the importance of internalizing God's moral limits, extending them beyond mere actions to include thoughts and intentions.<br><br><b>Limits in Christian Freedom</b><br><br>The Apostle Paul addresses the concept of limits within the context of Christian freedom. In <a href="/1_corinthians/10-23.htm">1 Corinthians 10:23-24</a>, he writes, "Everything is permissible, but not everything is beneficial. Everything is permissible, but not everything is edifying. No one should seek his own good, but the good of others." Paul acknowledges the freedom believers have in Christ but emphasizes the importance of self-imposed limits for the sake of edification and the well-being of others.<br><br><b>Eternal Limits</b><br><br>The Bible also speaks of eternal limits, particularly concerning the final judgment and the separation of the righteous from the wicked. In <a href="/matthew/25-31.htm">Matthew 25:31-46</a>, Jesus describes the final judgment, where the sheep are separated from the goats, symbolizing the eternal destiny of individuals based on their response to Him. This passage underscores the ultimate limit set by God, determining the eternal state of every soul.<br><br>In summary, the concept of "limit" in the Bible encompasses divine boundaries, human limitations, moral and ethical guidelines, and the eternal separation of the righteous and the wicked. These limits serve to guide believers in their relationship with God and others, reminding them of their dependence on divine wisdom and grace.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
