The term "consisted" is not directly found in the Berean Standard Bible as a standalone word, but the concept is often implied in various passages that describe the composition, structure, or makeup of something, particularly in relation to God's creation, the body of Christ, and the nature of spiritual truths.

Creation and Sustenance by God

The idea of things consisting or being held together is foundational in the biblical understanding of creation. Colossians 1:17 states, "He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together." This verse highlights the preeminence of Christ in creation, emphasizing that all things consist in Him. The Greek word used here, "συνίστημι" (synistēmi), conveys the idea of being established or held together, indicating that Christ is the sustaining force of the universe.

The Body of Christ

In the New Testament, the concept of consisting is also applied to the Church, often described as the body of Christ. 1 Corinthians 12:12 says, "For just as the body is one and has many parts, and all the parts of the body, though many, are one body, so also is Christ." Here, the Church consists of many members, each with unique functions, yet forming one unified body. This imagery underscores the interconnectedness and interdependence of believers, each contributing to the whole.

Spiritual Truths and Doctrines

The Bible also uses the concept of consisting to describe the nature of spiritual truths and doctrines. Hebrews 11:3 states, "By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible." This passage suggests that the visible world consists of elements that are not visible, pointing to the spiritual reality underlying the physical world. Faith, therefore, is the means by which believers comprehend the true nature of existence.

Moral and Ethical Consistency

The Scriptures often call for a life that consists of moral and ethical consistency, reflecting the character of God. James 3:17 describes the wisdom from above as "first of all pure, then peace-loving, gentle, accommodating, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial, and sincere." A life that consists of these qualities is one that aligns with divine wisdom and reflects the transformative power of the Holy Spirit.

Conclusion

While the specific term "consisted" may not appear frequently in the biblical text, the concept is integral to understanding the nature of God's creation, the unity of the Church, the essence of spiritual truths, and the call to live a life consistent with God's character. Through these themes, the Bible presents a cohesive vision of how all things are held together by divine purpose and power.(imp. & p. p.) of Consist.3485. naos -- a temple
