Topical Encyclopedia

The term "entirely" in a biblical context often refers to the concept of completeness or wholeness, whether in relation to God's nature, human devotion, or the fulfillment of divine promises. The Bible frequently emphasizes the importance of wholeheartedness in one's relationship with God, underscoring the necessity of complete devotion and obedience.

God's Nature and Promises

God's nature is depicted as entirely holy, just, and loving. In Deuteronomy 32:4, God is described as "The Rock, His work is perfect, for all His ways are just. A God of faithfulness without injustice, righteous and upright is He." This verse highlights the completeness of God's character, emphasizing that His actions and judgments are entirely just and faithful.

The promises of God are also portrayed as entirely reliable and trustworthy. In 2 Corinthians 1:20, the Apostle Paul writes, "For all the promises of God are 'Yes' in Christ. And so through Him, our 'Amen' is spoken to the glory of God." This assurance reflects the belief that God's promises are entirely fulfilled in Jesus Christ, affirming the certainty and completeness of His word.

Human Devotion and Obedience

The Bible calls for believers to be entirely devoted to God, both in heart and action. In Deuteronomy 6:5, the command is given: "Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength." This verse underscores the necessity of complete and undivided love for God, requiring believers to commit every aspect of their being to Him.

Similarly, in the New Testament, Jesus reiterates this command in Matthew 22:37, emphasizing the importance of loving God entirely. This call to wholehearted devotion is a central tenet of Christian discipleship, urging believers to prioritize their relationship with God above all else.

Sanctification and Holiness

The process of sanctification, or being made holy, is another area where the concept of being entirely set apart for God is evident. In 1 Thessalonians 5:23, Paul prays, "Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely, and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ." This prayer reflects the desire for believers to be wholly sanctified, indicating a complete transformation that encompasses every part of their being.

Conclusion

The biblical concept of "entirely" encompasses the completeness of God's nature, the reliability of His promises, and the call for total devotion and sanctification in the lives of believers. Through these themes, Scripture emphasizes the importance of wholeheartedness in one's relationship with God, urging believers to pursue a life that is entirely dedicated to His purposes and glory.
