The concept of necessity is woven throughout Scripture, highlighting both the physical needs of humanity and the spiritual imperatives that guide Christian living.<br><br><b>Physical Necessities</b><br><br>The Bible acknowledges the basic physical necessities of life, such as food, clothing, and shelter. In <a href="/matthew/6-31.htm">Matthew 6:31-33</a> , Jesus addresses these needs, saying, "Therefore do not worry, saying, &#8216;What shall we eat?&#8217; or &#8216;What shall we drink?&#8217; or &#8216;What shall we wear?&#8217; For the Gentiles strive after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you." Here, Jesus emphasizes that while physical necessities are important, they should not overshadow the pursuit of God's kingdom and righteousness.<br><br>The Apostle Paul also speaks to the issue of necessity in terms of work and provision. In <a href="/2_thessalonians/3-10.htm">2 Thessalonians 3:10</a> , he writes, "For even while we were with you, we gave you this command: If anyone is unwilling to work, he shall not eat." This underscores the principle that individuals have a responsibility to work and provide for their own needs, as well as the needs of their families.<br><br><b>Spiritual Necessities</b><br><br>Beyond physical needs, the Bible places a strong emphasis on spiritual necessities. The necessity of faith in Jesus Christ for salvation is a central theme. In <a href="/john/3-7.htm">John 3:7</a> , Jesus tells Nicodemus, "Do not be amazed that I said, &#8216;You must be born again.&#8217;" This spiritual rebirth is presented as a necessity for entering the kingdom of God.<br><br>The necessity of love is another critical aspect of Christian teaching. In <a href="/1_corinthians/13.htm">1 Corinthians 13:1-3</a> , Paul writes about the indispensable nature of love, stating, "If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a ringing gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have absolute faith so as to move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and exult in the surrender of my body, but have not love, I gain nothing." Love is portrayed as a necessity that underpins all other spiritual gifts and actions.<br><br><b>Moral and Ethical Necessities</b><br><br>The Bible also outlines moral and ethical necessities for believers. <a href="/micah/6-8.htm">Micah 6:8</a> succinctly captures this, stating, "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 highlights the necessity of justice, mercy, and humility in the life of a believer.<br><br>In the New Testament, the necessity of obedience to God's commandments is emphasized. Jesus says in <a href="/john/14-15.htm">John 14:15</a> , "If you love Me, you will keep My commandments." Obedience is presented as a necessary expression of love for Christ and a reflection of genuine faith.<br><br><b>Necessity in Ministry</b><br><br>The concept of necessity also extends to the ministry and mission of the church. Paul speaks of the necessity laid upon him to preach the gospel in <a href="/1_corinthians/9-16.htm">1 Corinthians 9:16</a> , saying, "Yet when I preach the gospel, I have no reason to boast, because I am compelled to preach. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel!" This sense of divine compulsion underscores the urgency and importance of spreading the message of salvation.<br><br>In summary, the Bible presents necessity as encompassing both the physical and spiritual realms, urging believers to prioritize their spiritual obligations while trusting God to meet their physical needs. The call to love, obey, and serve is portrayed as essential to the Christian life, reflecting the transformative power of faith in action.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
