Topical Encyclopedia In the context of the Bible, the term "note" does not appear as a specific word in the Berean Standard Bible . However, the concept of taking note or marking something for remembrance or attention is present throughout the Scriptures. This entry explores the biblical understanding of noting, marking, or remembering significant events, teachings, or individuals.Biblical Instances of Noting 1. Marking for Remembrance: The Bible often emphasizes the importance of remembering God's works and commandments. In Exodus 12:14, God instructs the Israelites to commemorate the Passover: "This day is to be a memorial for you, and you are to celebrate it as a feast to the LORD; as a lasting ordinance for the generations to come." Here, the act of noting is tied to the observance of God's deliverance. 2. Noting Prophetic Warnings: The prophets frequently called upon the people to take note of God's warnings. In Jeremiah 6:19, the Lord declares, "Hear, O earth! I am bringing disaster on this people, the fruit of their own schemes, because they have not listened to My words and have rejected My law." The call to hear and heed is an invitation to note the seriousness of God's message. 3. Marking Individuals: In the New Testament, the Apostle Paul advises believers to take note of those who cause divisions. Romans 16:17 states, "Now I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who create divisions and obstacles that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Turn away from them." Here, noting is an act of discernment and protection for the community of faith. 4. Remembering Christ's Sacrifice: The Lord's Supper is a significant act of remembrance in the Christian faith. In 1 Corinthians 11:24-25, Paul recounts Jesus' words: "And when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, 'This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me.' In the same way, after supper He took the cup, saying, 'This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.'" The act of noting here is a sacred remembrance of Christ's atoning work. Theological Implications The act of noting or marking in the Bible is deeply connected to the themes of memory, obedience, and community. It serves as a means of preserving the faith and ensuring that God's deeds and instructions are not forgotten. The biblical call to note is both a personal and communal responsibility, urging believers to remain vigilant and faithful. Practical Application For contemporary believers, the practice of noting can take various forms, such as journaling, participating in communal worship, and engaging in regular study of the Scriptures. These practices help to internalize and live out the truths of the faith, ensuring that the lessons and commands of the Bible are actively remembered and applied in daily life.
