Fame, in its essence, refers to being well-known or celebrated by many. In the biblical context, fame can be a result of divine blessing, human achievement, or even notoriety due to sin.<br><br><b>Positive Aspects of Fame:</b><br><br>1. <b>Divine Blessing and Favor:</b> Fame is often depicted as a result of God's blessing. For instance, God promised to make Abraham's name great as part of His covenant with him. <a href="/genesis/12-2.htm">Genesis 12:2</a> states, "I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, so that you will be a blessing." Here, fame is associated with God's purpose and the fulfillment of His promises.<br><br>2. <b>Wisdom and Leadership:</b> King Solomon is another example of positive fame. His wisdom and understanding were renowned throughout the ancient world. <a href="/1_kings/4-31.htm">1 Kings 4:31</a> notes, "He was wiser than all men... and his fame spread throughout the surrounding nations." Solomon's fame was a testament to the wisdom granted by God, which he used to govern Israel effectively.<br><br>3. <b>Acts of Valor and Faith:</b> David's fame grew as a result of his faith and military victories. After defeating Goliath, David became famous throughout Israel. <a href="/1_samuel/18-7.htm">1 Samuel 18:7</a> records the women singing, "Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands." David's fame was linked to his reliance on God and his role as a leader of Israel.<br><br><b>Negative Aspects of Fame:</b><br><br>1. <b>Pride and Downfall:</b> Fame can lead to pride, which is condemned in Scripture. King Nebuchadnezzar's fame and power led to his downfall due to his pride. <a href="/daniel/4-30.htm">Daniel 4:30</a> recounts his boast, "Is this not Babylon the Great, which I myself have built by the might of my power and for the glory of my majesty?" His subsequent humbling by God serves as a warning against the dangers of prideful fame.<br><br>2. <b>False Prophets and Deceivers:</b> Fame can also be associated with those who lead others astray. Jesus warned against false prophets who would gain notoriety by deceiving many. <a href="/matthew/24-24.htm">Matthew 24:24</a> states, "For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders that would deceive even the elect, if that were possible." Here, fame is linked to deception and spiritual danger.<br><br>3. <b>Worldly Pursuits:</b> The pursuit of fame for its own sake is cautioned against in Scripture. The desire for human approval can lead one away from God's will. In <a href="/john/12-43.htm">John 12:43</a> , it is said of some leaders, "For they loved praise from men more than praise from God." This highlights the conflict between seeking fame and seeking God's approval.<br><br><b>Fame in the Early Church:</b><br><br>The early church experienced fame as the message of the Gospel spread. <a href="/acts/2-47.htm">Acts 2:47</a> describes the early believers as "praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved." The fame of the early church was rooted in their faithfulness and the transformative power of the Gospel.<br><br>In summary, fame in the Bible is a complex theme that can reflect God's blessing and purpose or human pride and sin. It serves as both a reward for faithfulness and a caution against the pitfalls of seeking human glory over divine approval.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(<I>a.</I>) Celebrated in fame or public report; renowned; mach talked of; distinguished in story; -- used in either a good or a bad sense, chiefly the former; often followed by for; as, famous for erudition, for eloquence, for military skill; a famous pirate.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/4436.htm"><span class="l">4436. puthon -- Python, a mythical serpent slain by Apollo <b>...</b></span></a> <br><b>...</b> From Putho (the name of the region where Delphi, the seat of the <b>famous</b> oracle,<br> was located); a Python, ie (by analogy, with the supposed diviner there <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">//strongsnumbers.com/greek2/4436.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 6k</font><p><a href="/greek/4516.htm"><span class="l">4516.
