It encompasses both the physical act of seeing and the spiritual act of understanding and obeying God's will. Observing is a recurring theme throughout the Bible, emphasizing the importance of vigilance, discernment, and obedience in the life of a believer.<br><br><b>Old Testament</b><br><br>In the Old Testament, observing is often associated with the Israelites' covenant relationship with God. They were commanded to observe God's laws and statutes as a sign of their faithfulness and devotion. In <a href="/deuteronomy/4-6.htm">Deuteronomy 4:6</a>, Moses instructs the Israelites, "Observe them carefully, for this will show your wisdom and understanding to the nations, who will hear about all these decrees and say, 'Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.'" Here, observing God's commandments is linked to wisdom and serves as a testimony to other nations.<br><br>The concept of observing also extends to the Sabbath and other holy days. In <a href="/exodus/31-16.htm">Exodus 31:16</a>, the Israelites are commanded, "The Israelites are to observe the Sabbath, celebrating it as a lasting covenant for the generations to come." Observing the Sabbath was a sign of the covenant between God and His people, a day set apart for rest and worship.<br><br><b>New Testament</b><br><br>In the New Testament, observing takes on a deeper spiritual significance. Jesus Christ emphasizes the importance of not only observing the law but understanding its spirit and intent. In <a href="/matthew/23-23.htm">Matthew 23:23</a>, Jesus rebukes the Pharisees, saying, "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! You pay tithes of mint, dill, and cumin, but you have disregarded the weightier matters of the law: justice, mercy, and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former." Here, Jesus highlights that true observance involves a heart aligned with God's values, not just external compliance.<br><br>The Apostle Paul also addresses the concept of observing in his letters. In <a href="/galatians/4-10.htm">Galatians 4:10-11</a>, he warns against the legalistic observance of days and seasons, stating, "You are observing special days and months and seasons and years! I fear for you, that my efforts for you may have been in vain." Paul emphasizes that observing rituals without understanding their purpose in Christ can lead to bondage rather than freedom.<br><br><b>Spiritual Vigilance</b><br><br>Observing in the spiritual sense involves vigilance and readiness for the Lord's return. Jesus instructs His followers to be watchful and prepared, as seen in <a href="/matthew/24-42.htm">Matthew 24:42</a>, "Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day on which your Lord will come." This call to observe is a reminder to live in a state of spiritual alertness and anticipation.<br><br><b>Moral and Ethical Observance</b><br><br>Observing God's commandments is also tied to moral and ethical living. In <a href="/james/1-22.htm">James 1:22-25</a>, believers are encouraged to be doers of the word, not merely hearers. "But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror, and after observing himself goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like." Observing here implies an active engagement with God's word, leading to transformation and righteous living.<br><br><b>Conclusion</b><br><br>Observing in the biblical sense is a multifaceted concept that involves seeing, understanding, and obeying God's will. It is a call to vigilance, spiritual discernment, and faithful adherence to God's commandments, reflecting a life committed to His purposes.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
