The term "divinely" refers to that which pertains to or is characteristic of God, His nature, or His actions. In the context of the Bible, it often describes events, interventions, or attributes that are directly associated with God's will, power, or essence. The concept of the divine permeates Scripture, illustrating God's sovereignty, holiness, and involvement in the world.

Divine Nature and Attributes

The divine nature of God is central to understanding His character and actions. Scripture reveals God as omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent. In Romans 1:20 , Paul writes, "For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse." This passage highlights the inherent divinity in creation, pointing to God's eternal power and nature as evident in the world around us.

Divine Intervention

Throughout the Bible, divine intervention is a recurring theme, where God actively participates in human history to fulfill His purposes. One of the most notable examples is the Exodus, where God delivers the Israelites from Egyptian bondage through miraculous signs and wonders. In Exodus 14:21-22 , it is written, "Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and all that night the LORD drove the sea back with a strong east wind and turned it into dry land. So the waters were divided, and the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with walls of water on their right and on their left."

Divine Revelation

God's communication with humanity is another aspect of His divine nature. Divine revelation is the means by which God discloses Himself and His will to mankind. The Bible itself is considered a product of divine revelation, inspired by God and written by human authors. 2 Timothy 3:16 states, "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for instruction, for conviction, for correction, and for training in righteousness." This verse underscores the belief that the Scriptures are divinely inspired and authoritative.

Divine Wisdom

The wisdom of God is described as being far superior to human understanding. In 1 Corinthians 1:25 , Paul writes, "For the foolishness of God is wiser than man’s wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man’s strength." This passage emphasizes the supremacy of divine wisdom over human intellect, encouraging believers to trust in God's perfect knowledge and plan.

Divine Love and Grace

God's love and grace are central to His divine character. John 3:16 declares, "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." This verse encapsulates the divine love that motivated the sacrificial act of sending Jesus Christ for the redemption of humanity. Additionally, Ephesians 2:8-9 highlights divine grace: "For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast."

Divine Judgment

The Bible also speaks of divine judgment, where God, in His righteousness, holds individuals and nations accountable for their actions. Hebrews 9:27 states, "Just as man is appointed to die once, and after that to face judgment." This verse reflects the belief in a final divine judgment, where God will render justice according to His perfect standards.

Divine Sovereignty

God's sovereignty is a fundamental aspect of His divine nature, affirming that He is in complete control over all creation. Proverbs 19:21 says, "Many plans are in a man’s heart, but the purpose of the LORD will prevail." This verse illustrates the belief that, despite human intentions, God's divine will ultimately prevails in all circumstances.1. (adv.) In a divine or godlike manner; holily; admirably or excellently in a supreme degree.
