The concept of acquiring is deeply rooted in the biblical narrative, reflecting both the blessings and responsibilities that come with possession.<br><br><b>Material Wealth and Possessions</b><br><br>In the Old Testament, the acquisition of material wealth is frequently mentioned. For instance, Abraham is described as having acquired great wealth in livestock, silver, and gold (<a href="/genesis/13-2.htm">Genesis 13:2</a>). This wealth is seen as a blessing from God, a sign of His favor and covenant with Abraham. Similarly, Solomon's acquisition of wealth and wisdom is highlighted in <a href="/1_kings/10-23.htm">1 Kings 10:23-25</a>, where it is noted that "King Solomon was greater in riches and wisdom than all the other kings of the earth."<br><br>However, the Bible also warns against the dangers of acquiring wealth for its own sake. <a href="/proverbs/23-4.htm">Proverbs 23:4-5</a> cautions, "Do not wear yourself out to get rich; do not trust your own cleverness. Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone, for they will surely sprout wings and fly off to the sky like an eagle." This reflects the transient nature of material possessions and the importance of prioritizing spiritual wealth.<br><br><b>Wisdom and Understanding</b><br><br>The acquisition of wisdom is highly valued in Scripture. <a href="/proverbs/4-7.htm">Proverbs 4:7</a> states, "The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding." The pursuit of wisdom is portrayed as a noble endeavor, one that requires dedication and a heart aligned with God's will. <a href="/james/1-5.htm">James 1:5</a> encourages believers to seek wisdom from God, who "gives generously to all without finding fault."<br><br><b>Spiritual Gifts and Virtues</b><br><br>In the New Testament, the concept of acquiring takes on a spiritual dimension. Believers are encouraged to acquire spiritual gifts and virtues that reflect the character of Christ. In <a href="/1_corinthians/12-31.htm">1 Corinthians 12:31</a>, Paul urges the church to "earnestly desire the greater gifts." This acquisition is not for personal gain but for the edification of the body of Christ.<br><br>The acquisition of virtues such as love, patience, and humility is also emphasized. <a href="/colossians/3-12.htm">Colossians 3:12-14</a> instructs believers to "clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another... And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity."<br><br><b>Redemption and Salvation</b><br><br>The ultimate acquisition in the Christian faith is the redemption and salvation offered through Jesus Christ. <a href="/ephesians/1-7.htm">Ephesians 1:7-8</a> declares, "In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace that He lavished on us." This acquisition is not earned by human effort but is a gift of grace, received through faith.<br><br>In summary, the biblical concept of acquiring encompasses a range of meanings, from the material to the spiritual. It serves as a reminder of the blessings and responsibilities that come with possession, urging believers to seek what is eternal and aligned with God's purposes.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(<I>imp. & p. p.</I>) of Acquire.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/1431.htm"><span class="l">1431. dorea -- a gift</span></a> <br><b>...</b> 1431 (a feminine noun, derived from 1325 ) -- a gift, and hence <b>acquired</b> by or<br> "entitlement." 1431 (a noun) expresses a brand of giving that highlights the of <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">//strongsnumbers.com/greek2/1431.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 7k</font><p><a href="/greek/2932.htm"><span class="l">2932. ktaomai -- to acquire</span></a> <br><b>...</b> Word Origin a prim. verb Definition to acquire NASB Word Usage acquire (1),<br> <b>acquired</b> (2), gain (1), get (1), obtain (1), possess (1). <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">//strongsnumbers.com/greek2/2932.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 6k</font><p><a href="/greek/199.htm"><span class="l">199. akribos -- with exactness</span></a> <br><b>...</b> This root () refers to gaining with the of accuracy ("exactness") and is <b>acquired</b><br> by to provide a (precise) view in adherence to the facts. <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">//strongsnumbers.com/greek2/199.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 7k</font><p><a href="/greek/2771.htm"><span class="l">2771. kerdos -- gain</span></a> <br><b>...</b> Cognate: 2771 -- gain (profit), <b>acquired</b> through "faith-."
