Topical Encyclopedia
The term "absolute" is not directly found in the text of the Bible; however, the concept of absoluteness is inherent in the nature and attributes of God, as well as in His laws and decrees. In theological discourse, "absolute" often refers to something that is unchanging, perfect, and independent of any other being or condition. This entry explores the biblical understanding of absoluteness as it pertains to God, His truth, and His moral standards.
God's Absolute Nature1.
Eternality and Immutability: God's nature is absolute in that He is eternal and unchanging. In
Malachi 3:6, God declares, "For I, the LORD, do not change; therefore you, O sons of Jacob, are not consumed." This verse highlights God's immutability, an absolute attribute that assures His promises and character remain constant.
2.
Sovereignty: God's sovereignty is absolute, meaning He has ultimate authority and control over all creation.
Psalm 115:3 states, "Our God is in heaven; He does as He pleases." This reflects the absolute power and freedom of God to execute His will without constraint.
3.
Perfection: God's absolute perfection is evident in His holiness and righteousness. In
Matthew 5:48, Jesus instructs, "Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect." This call to perfection underscores the absolute moral standard embodied by God.
Absolute Truth1.
Divine Revelation: The Bible presents God's Word as absolute truth. In
John 17:17, Jesus prays, "Sanctify them by the truth; Your word is truth." This affirms the Bible as the ultimate standard of truth, unaltered by human opinion or cultural shifts.
2.
Jesus as the Truth: Jesus Christ embodies absolute truth. In
John 14:6, He declares, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." This statement asserts the exclusivity and absoluteness of Christ as the sole path to God.
Absolute Moral Standards1.
The Ten Commandments: God's moral laws, such as the Ten Commandments, are absolute standards for righteous living.
Exodus 20:1-17 outlines these commandments, which serve as a timeless moral compass for humanity.
2.
Love as the Fulfillment of the Law: In
Romans 13:10, Paul writes, "Love does no wrong to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law." This principle of love is an absolute moral standard that encapsulates the essence of God's commandments.
Absolute Justice and Mercy1.
Divine Justice: God's justice is absolute, ensuring that righteousness prevails. In
Deuteronomy 32:4, it is written, "He is the Rock, His work is perfect; all His ways are just. A God of faithfulness without injustice, righteous and upright is He."
2.
Mercy and Grace: While God's justice is absolute, His mercy and grace are also absolute, providing salvation through faith in Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 2:8-9 states, "For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast."
In summary, the concept of "absolute" in the Bible is intricately linked to the nature of God, His truth, and His moral standards. These absolutes provide a foundation for understanding the divine character and the expectations for human conduct as revealed in Scripture.
