It is often used in the New Testament to describe the spiritual empowerment that believers receive from God. This empowerment enables them to endure trials, perform their duties, and live out their faith effectively. The term emphasizes the source of strength as being external, coming from God, rather than from human effort.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, strength and power were highly valued, often associated with physical prowess or political influence. However, the New Testament redefines true strength as spiritual empowerment from God. This divine empowerment was crucial for early Christians who faced persecution and needed inner strength to remain faithful. The concept of being empowered by a divine source would have been countercultural, as it shifted the focus from human ability to divine enablement.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p
