The term "asserted" refers to the act of stating something confidently and forcefully. In the context of the Bible, assertions are often made by God, prophets, apostles, and Jesus Christ Himself, conveying divine truths, commandments, and teachings with authority and certainty.

Divine Assertions

Throughout Scripture, God asserts His sovereignty, power, and plans for humanity. In Isaiah 46:9-10 , God declares, "Remember the former things of old; for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things not yet done, saying, 'My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all My purpose.'" Here, God asserts His unique nature and the certainty of His divine will.

Prophetic Assertions

Prophets in the Old Testament often asserted messages from God, serving as His mouthpieces. For example, in Jeremiah 1:9-10 , God asserts His authority over Jeremiah's prophetic mission: "Then the LORD reached out His hand and touched my mouth and said to me: 'Behold, I have put My words in your mouth. See, I have appointed you today over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and plant.'" This passage highlights the divine authority behind prophetic assertions.

Christ's Assertions

Jesus Christ frequently asserted His identity, mission, and teachings with authority. In John 14:6 , Jesus asserts, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." This statement underscores the exclusivity and necessity of Christ for salvation, a central tenet of Christian faith.

In another instance, Jesus asserts His divine authority in Matthew 28:18 : "Then Jesus came to them and said, 'All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.'" This assertion precedes the Great Commission, emphasizing the divine backing of His command to make disciples of all nations.

Apostolic Assertions

The apostles, empowered by the Holy Spirit, also made authoritative assertions about the gospel and Christian doctrine. In Acts 4:12 , Peter asserts, "Salvation exists in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved." This declaration affirms the exclusivity of salvation through Jesus Christ.

Paul, in his epistles, often asserts theological truths with clarity and conviction. In Romans 8:38-39 , he asserts the inseparable love of God: "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor principalities, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Conclusion

The concept of assertion in the Bible is closely tied to the authority and truth of God's word. Whether through divine declarations, prophetic messages, Christ's teachings, or apostolic writings, assertions in Scripture serve to communicate God's will and truth with clarity and authority.(imp. & p. p.) of Assert.1510. eimi -- I exist, I am
