The word "lays" is often related to the act of placing or setting something down, which can be seen in various scriptural passages where individuals lay down objects, burdens, or even their lives in service to God.<br><br><b>Laying Down Burdens</b><br><br>The concept of laying down burdens is a significant theme in the Bible, symbolizing the act of surrendering one's troubles and cares to God. In <a href="/matthew/11-28.htm">Matthew 11:28-30</a> , Jesus invites those who are weary to come to Him for rest: "Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light." This passage emphasizes the spiritual relief and peace found in laying one's burdens at the feet of Christ.<br><br><b>Laying Down Lives</b><br><br>The ultimate act of laying down one's life is exemplified in the sacrificial love of Jesus Christ. In <a href="/john/15-13.htm">John 15:13</a> , Jesus states, "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." This verse highlights the profound love and selflessness that Jesus demonstrated through His crucifixion, offering His life for the salvation of humanity. The call to lay down one's life is also echoed in the lives of the apostles and early Christians, who often faced persecution and martyrdom for their faith.<br><br><b>Laying on of Hands</b><br><br>The laying on of hands is a significant biblical practice associated with blessing, healing, and the impartation of the Holy Spirit. In the Old Testament, this act was often used to confer blessings or authority, as seen in <a href="/genesis/48-14.htm">Genesis 48:14</a> , where Jacob lays his hands on the heads of Ephraim and Manasseh to bless them. In the New Testament, the laying on of hands is associated with healing and the reception of the Holy Spirit, as demonstrated in <a href="/acts/8-17.htm">Acts 8:17</a> : "Then Peter and John laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit."<br><br><b>Laying Foundations</b><br><br>The metaphor of laying foundations is used in the Bible to describe the establishment of a firm and secure basis for faith and life. In <a href="/1_corinthians/3-11.htm">1 Corinthians 3:11</a> , Paul writes, "For no one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ." This passage underscores the importance of building one's life upon the teachings and person of Jesus, who is the cornerstone of Christian faith.<br><br><b>Laying Aside Sin</b><br><br>The call to lay aside sin is a recurring exhortation in the New Testament, urging believers to abandon sinful behaviors and live in righteousness. <a href="/hebrews/12.htm">Hebrews 12:1</a> encourages Christians to "lay aside every weight and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with endurance the race set out for us." This imagery of laying aside sin is a call to spiritual discipline and perseverance in the Christian walk.<br><br>In summary, while the term "lays" may not appear explicitly in the Bible, its thematic implications are woven throughout Scripture, illustrating acts of surrender, sacrifice, blessing, and spiritual foundation. These concepts are integral to understanding the Christian life and the transformative power of faith in Jesus Christ.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/4102.htm"><span class="l">4102. pistis -- faith, faithfulness</span></a> <br><b>...</b> discussion).
