It is used in various contexts, including divine judgment, human relationships, and personal conduct. The concept of sparing is significant in understanding God's character, His expectations for human behavior, and the moral lessons conveyed through Scripture. Divine Judgment and Mercy In the context of divine judgment, "spare" frequently appears in discussions of God's mercy and justice. For instance, in the account of Sodom and Gomorrah, Abraham intercedes for the cities, asking God to spare them if righteous people can be found within (<a href="/genesis/18-24.htm">Genesis 18:24-32</a>). This narrative highlights God's willingness to withhold judgment for the sake of the righteous, demonstrating His mercy and justice. In the book of Exodus, during the final plague in Egypt, God instructs the Israelites to mark their doorposts with the blood of a lamb so that the angel of death would "pass over" and spare their firstborn (<a href="/exodus/12-13.htm">Exodus 12:13</a>). This act of sparing the Israelites is a profound demonstration of God's protective mercy and foreshadows the ultimate sacrifice of Christ, the Lamb of God. Human Relationships and Conduct The concept of sparing is also relevant in human relationships, particularly in the context of discipline and forgiveness. <a href="/proverbs/13-24.htm">Proverbs 13:24</a> states, "Whoever spares the rod hates their children, but the one who loves them is careful to discipline them." This verse underscores the importance of discipline as an expression of love and concern for a child's well-being, rather than an act of cruelty. In the New Testament, the theme of sparing is evident in the teachings of Jesus and the apostles. Believers are encouraged to forgive and show mercy, reflecting God's own character. In <a href="/matthew/18-21.htm">Matthew 18:21-22</a>, Jesus teaches Peter to forgive "not seven times, but seventy-seven times," emphasizing the boundless nature of mercy and the importance of sparing others from the consequences of their offenses. God's Reluctance to Spare The Bible also presents instances where God, despite His mercy, does not spare individuals or nations due to their persistent sin and rebellion. In <a href="/ezekiel/7-4.htm">Ezekiel 7:4</a>, God declares, "I will not look on you with pity; I will not spare you, but I will repay you for your conduct and for the detestable practices among you." This illustrates the seriousness of sin and the eventual necessity of divine justice when repentance is absent. In the New Testament, the Apostle Paul reflects on God's judgment and mercy in <a href="/romans/11-21.htm">Romans 11:21</a>, warning the Gentiles that "if God did not spare the natural branches, He will not spare you either." This serves as a reminder of the need for humility and faithfulness in the Christian walk. Christ's Sacrifice The ultimate expression of sparing in the Bible is found in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. <a href="/romans/8-32.htm">Romans 8:32</a> states, "He who did not spare His own Son, but gave Him up for us all—how will He not also, along with Him, graciously give us all things?" This verse encapsulates the depth of God's love and the extent of His mercy, as He did not spare His own Son to provide salvation for humanity. In summary, the concept of "spare" in the Bible encompasses themes of mercy, justice, discipline, and sacrifice. It reveals the character of God as both just and merciful, and it calls believers to emulate these attributes in their own lives.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
