It is a recurring theme throughout both the Old and New Testaments, highlighting the human tendency to wander away from God's commandments and the consequences that follow. Old Testament References In the Old Testament, the Hebrew word often translated as "astray" is "ta'ah," which means to err, wander, or go astray. The Israelites are frequently depicted as going astray by turning away from God's laws and following false gods. In <a href="/psalms/119-176.htm">Psalm 119:176</a>, the psalmist acknowledges this tendency, saying, "I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek Your servant, for I have not forgotten Your commandments" . This verse underscores the need for divine intervention to bring the wayward back to the fold. The prophets also warned of the dangers of going astray. <a href="/isaiah/53-6.htm">Isaiah 53:6</a> states, "We all like sheep have gone astray, each one has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid upon Him the iniquity of us all" . This passage not only highlights the universal nature of human waywardness but also points to the redemptive work of the Messiah, who bears the consequences of our straying. New Testament References In the New Testament, the Greek word "planao" is used to describe the act of going astray. Jesus Himself speaks of the danger of being led astray by false prophets and teachings. In <a href="/matthew/24-4.htm">Matthew 24:4-5</a>, He warns, "See to it that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, claiming, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many" . This admonition emphasizes the importance of discernment and adherence to the truth of the Gospel. The parable of the lost sheep in <a href="/luke/15-3.htm">Luke 15:3-7</a> further illustrates God's concern for those who have gone astray. Jesus tells of a shepherd who leaves the ninety-nine sheep to search for the one that is lost, demonstrating God's relentless pursuit of the wayward sinner. This parable reassures believers of God's grace and willingness to restore those who repent and return to Him. Theological Implications Theologically, going astray is often linked to the concept of sin, which separates humanity from God. The Bible teaches that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (<a href="/romans/3-23.htm">Romans 3:23</a>), and thus, all have gone astray in some form. However, the Scriptures also provide hope for redemption and restoration through Jesus Christ. In <a href="/1_peter/2-25.htm">1 Peter 2:25</a>, believers are reminded, "For you were like sheep going astray, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls" . Practical Application For Christians, the call to avoid going astray involves a commitment to studying and obeying God's Word, maintaining a close relationship with Him through prayer, and being part of a community of believers who encourage and hold one another accountable. The Bible encourages believers to "examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves" (<a href="/2_corinthians/13-5.htm">2 Corinthians 13:5</a>), ensuring that they remain on the path of righteousness. In summary, the biblical theme of going astray serves as a sobering reminder of human frailty and the ever-present need for God's guidance and grace. Through Christ, believers have the assurance of forgiveness and the promise of being led back to the path of life.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(adv. & a.)

This wandering may be due (1) to inherent evil (<a href="/psalms/58-3.htm">Psalm 58:3</a>); (2) to false shepherds (<a href="/jeremiah/50-6.htm">Jeremiah 50:6</a>); contrast the beautiful and classic passage, <a href="/matthew/18-12.htm">Matthew 18:12, 13</a>, the Son of man (verse 12) seeketh that which is gone astray. No word more vividly portrays sin as a straying, a separation from God. To be morally "astray" is to be "lost." Dwight M.
