Strong's Lexicon anakainósis: Renewal Original Word: ἀνακαίνωσις Word Origin: Derived from ἀνακαινόω (anakainoō), meaning "to renew" or "to make new." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "anakainósis," the concept of renewal is present in the Old Testament, often associated with words like חָדָשׁ (chadash, Strong's H2319), meaning "new" or "renew." Usage: The term "anakainósis" refers to the process of renewal or transformation, particularly in a spiritual or moral sense. It implies a restoration to a former state or an improvement to a new and better condition. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the spiritual renewal that occurs in a believer's life through the work of the Holy Spirit. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of renewal was often associated with philosophical and religious ideas of transformation and rebirth. For early Christians, this renewal was understood as a profound change brought about by faith in Christ and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, contrasting with the moral and spiritual decay of the surrounding pagan culture.
