It encompasses a range of actions that go against the divine will as revealed in Scripture. The concept of violation is deeply rooted in the biblical narrative, highlighting the consequences of disobedience and the need for repentance and redemption.<br><br><b>Old Testament Context</b><br><br>In the Old Testament, the idea of violation is frequently associated with the breaking of God's covenant. The Israelites were given the Law through Moses, which included commandments and statutes they were to follow. Violating these laws was seen as a serious offense against God. For instance, in <a href="/leviticus/26-15.htm">Leviticus 26:15-16</a> , God warns the Israelites of the consequences of violating His covenant: "And if you reject My statutes and despise My ordinances, and if you fail to observe all My commandments and so break My covenant, then I will do this to you: I will bring upon you sudden terror, wasting disease, and fever that will destroy your sight and drain your life."<br><br>The prophets often called out the people of Israel for their violations of God's laws. <a href="/jeremiah/34-18.htm">Jeremiah 34:18</a> speaks of the consequences for those who violate the covenant: "And I will give the men who have violated My covenant, who have not fulfilled the terms of the covenant they made before Me when they cut the calf in two and passed between its pieces."<br><br><b>New Testament Context</b><br><br>In the New Testament, the concept of violation extends to the teachings of Jesus and the apostles. Jesus emphasized the spirit of the law, teaching that true righteousness goes beyond mere external adherence to rules. Violating God's commandments, therefore, includes not only outward actions but also the intentions of the heart. In <a href="/matthew/5-19.htm">Matthew 5:19</a> , Jesus states, "So then, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do likewise will be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever practices and teaches these commandments will be called great in the kingdom of heaven."<br><br>The apostle Paul also addresses the issue of violation in his letters. In <a href="/romans/2-23.htm">Romans 2:23</a> , he writes, "You who boast in the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law?" Here, Paul highlights the hypocrisy of those who claim to uphold the law yet violate it through their actions.<br><br><b>Moral and Spiritual Implications</b><br><br>Violating God's commandments is not merely a legalistic issue but a moral and spiritual one. It reflects a heart that is not aligned with God's will. The Bible consistently calls believers to examine their hearts and actions, urging them to live in obedience to God's word. In <a href="/james/2-10.htm">James 2:10</a> , it is written, "Whoever keeps the whole law but stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it."<br><br>The biblical narrative underscores the seriousness of violating God's laws, yet it also offers hope through repentance and forgiveness. The call to repentance is a recurring theme, inviting those who have violated God's commandments to return to Him and seek His mercy. As 1 <a href="/john/1-9.htm">John 1:9</a> assures, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."<br><br><b>Conclusion</b><br><br>While the Bible clearly outlines the consequences of violating God's laws, it also emphasizes God's grace and the possibility of restoration for those who turn back to Him. The call to live a life of obedience and faithfulness remains central to the Christian walk, as believers strive to honor God in all aspects of their lives.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(<I>imp. & p. p.</I>) of Violate.<a name="heb" id="heb"></a><div class="vheading2">Strong's Hebrew</div><a href="/hebrew/8133.htm"><span class="l">8133. shena -- to change</span></a><br><b>...</b> change (1), changed (5), changes (1), damaged (1), different (5), grew even paler<br> (1), grew pale (2), make alterations (1), pale (1), <b>violates</b> (1), violating (1 <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/hebrew/8133.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 6k</font><a name="lib" id="lib"></a><div class="vheading2">Library</div><p><a href="/library/sell/studies_in_the_life_of_the_christian/study_iii_the_christian_man.htm"><span class="l">The Christian Man</span></a> <br><b>...</b> Man sins and <b>violates</b> his moral nature; he feels the responsibility for his sin;<br> he desires forgiveness for his sin and to be freed from its power over his <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/.../sell/studies in the life of the christian/study iii the christian man.htm</font><p><a href="/library/allestree/the_government_of_the_tongue/section_iv_of_detraction.htm"><span class="l">Of Detraction.</span></a> <br><b>...</b> And surely that which at once <b>violates</b> the sum of the whole second Table of the<br> Law, for so our Savior renders it, Luke 10..7. must be looked on as no trifling <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/.../allestree/the government of the tongue/section iv of detraction.htm</font><p><a href="/library/tertullian/to_his_wife/chapter_iii_remarks_on_some_of.htm"><span class="l">Remarks on Some of the "Dangers and Wounds" Referred to in the <b>...</b></span></a> <br><b>...</b> in the passage just referred to) is not "adultery;" it is not "fornication."
