The Scriptures provide numerous examples of causes that are both human and divine, illustrating the complex interplay between God's sovereignty and human responsibility. Divine Causes 1. Creation and Providence: The Bible begins with the ultimate divine cause—God's creation of the world. <a href="/genesis/1.htm">Genesis 1:1</a> states, "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." This act of creation is the foundational cause of all that exists. God's providence continues to sustain creation, as seen in <a href="/colossians/1-17.htm">Colossians 1:17</a>, "He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together." 2. Judgment and Salvation: Throughout the Bible, God's actions are often described as responses to human behavior. For instance, the cause of the Great Flood in <a href="/bsb/genesis/6.htm">Genesis 6-9</a> is humanity's wickedness, as stated in <a href="/genesis/6-5.htm">Genesis 6:5</a>, "Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great upon the earth." Conversely, God's cause for sending His Son, Jesus Christ, is rooted in His love and desire for salvation, as <a href="/john/3-16.htm">John 3:16</a> declares, "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." 3. Fulfillment of Prophecy: Many events in the Bible occur to fulfill divine prophecy. For example, the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem fulfills the prophecy in <a href="/micah/5-2.htm">Micah 5:2</a>, as noted in <a href="/matthew/2-5.htm">Matthew 2:5-6</a>. These fulfillments serve as causes that demonstrate God's control over history and His faithfulness to His promises. Human Causes 1. Sin and Disobedience: Human actions often have significant causes and consequences. The original sin of Adam and Eve in <a href="/bsb/genesis/3.htm">Genesis 3</a> is a pivotal cause of the fallen state of humanity. <a href="/romans/5-12.htm">Romans 5:12</a> explains, "Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, so also death was passed on to all men, because all sinned." 2. Faith and Obedience: Conversely, acts of faith and obedience are causes for divine blessing. Abraham's faith is a cause for God's covenant with him, as seen in <a href="/genesis/15-6.htm">Genesis 15:6</a>, "Abram believed the LORD, and it was credited to him as righteousness." Similarly, the faith of the centurion in <a href="/matthew/8-10.htm">Matthew 8:10</a> causes Jesus to marvel and grant healing. 3. Interpersonal Causes: The Bible also addresses causes in human relationships. <a href="/james/4.htm">James 4:1</a> asks, "What causes conflicts and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from the passions at war within you?" This highlights the internal causes of external strife, urging believers to seek peace and reconciliation. Moral and Ethical Causes 1. Justice and Righteousness: The Bible frequently calls for justice and righteousness as causes for societal well-being. <a href="/micah/6-8.htm">Micah 6:8</a> states, "He has shown you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?" This verse encapsulates the moral causes that should guide human conduct. 2. Love and Compassion: Love is a central cause for Christian action. 1 <a href="/john/4-19.htm">John 4:19</a> declares, "We love because He first loved us." This divine love is the cause that compels believers to love others, reflecting God's character in their lives. Conclusion The concept of causes in the Bible encompasses a wide range of divine and human motivations and actions. Understanding these causes provides insight into the nature of God, the human condition, and the moral imperatives that guide believers in their faith journey.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/4624.htm">4624. skandalizo -- to put a snare (in the way), hence to cause to ...</a> ...
