The term "normally" is not explicitly found in the Bible; however, the concept of normalcy can be inferred through the regular patterns and expectations established by God in creation, human behavior, and divine law. The Bible often describes what is considered normal or normative in the context of God's design and commandments.

Creation and Order

In the creation narrative, God establishes a sense of normalcy through the order and structure of the universe. Genesis 1:31 states, "God saw all that He had made, and it was very good." This declaration reflects the normalcy of God's perfect creation, where everything functioned according to His divine plan. The regular cycles of day and night, seasons, and the natural world demonstrate a divinely instituted order.

Human Behavior and Moral Norms

The Bible provides guidelines for what is considered normal behavior for humanity, rooted in God's commandments and teachings. The Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:1-17) serve as a foundational moral code, establishing norms for worship, relationships, and ethical conduct. These commandments reflect God's expectations for human behavior, which are considered normal for a life that honors Him.

In the New Testament, Jesus reinforces and expands upon these norms. For example, in Matthew 22:37-39 , Jesus summarizes the law: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'" These principles establish a normative framework for Christian living.

Divine Law and Justice

The Bible also outlines what is considered normal in terms of justice and righteousness. Micah 6:8 states, "He has shown you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?" This verse encapsulates the normal expectations for a life that aligns with God's justice and mercy.

Deviation from Normalcy

Scripture frequently addresses the consequences of deviating from God's established norms. Sin is often depicted as a departure from what is normal or intended by God. Romans 3:23 declares, "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." This falling short indicates a deviation from the normal standard of holiness and righteousness that God desires for humanity.

Restoration to Normalcy

The Bible also speaks of restoration to God's intended normalcy through redemption and salvation. In 2 Corinthians 5:17 , it is written, "Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come!" This transformation signifies a return to the normalcy of a right relationship with God, made possible through Jesus Christ.

Conclusion

While the term "normally" is not directly used in the Bible, the concept is woven throughout Scripture in the form of divine order, moral expectations, and the call to live according to God's design. The Bible provides a framework for understanding what is considered normal in the eyes of God, emphasizing the importance of aligning one's life with His will and purposes.(adv.)
