The concept of "obtainable" in the Bible often relates to the pursuit and acquisition of spiritual blessings, wisdom, and the promises of God. The Scriptures emphasize that certain divine gifts and virtues are within reach for those who seek them earnestly and align their lives with God's will.

Wisdom and Understanding

The Bible frequently underscores the obtainability of wisdom and understanding for those who seek it. Proverbs 2:6-7 states, "For the LORD gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding. He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk with integrity." This passage highlights that wisdom is a divine gift that God is willing to bestow upon those who live righteously and seek His guidance.

Salvation and Eternal Life

Salvation is presented as obtainable through faith in Jesus Christ. Romans 10:9 declares, "If you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." This verse emphasizes the accessibility of salvation to all who believe and confess, underscoring the simplicity and availability of God's redemptive plan.

Peace and Rest

The Bible assures believers that peace and rest are obtainable through a relationship with God. Jesus invites those who are weary to find rest in Him, as seen in Matthew 11:28-29 : "Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." This promise of rest is available to all who come to Christ and learn from Him.

Spiritual Gifts

The New Testament teaches that spiritual gifts are obtainable for the edification of the church. In 1 Corinthians 12:7 , Paul writes, "Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good." This indicates that spiritual gifts are distributed by the Holy Spirit to believers, making them accessible for the purpose of building up the body of Christ.

Righteousness and Holiness

Righteousness and holiness are obtainable through a life of faith and obedience. Philippians 3:9 speaks of being "found in Him, not having my own righteousness from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness from God on the basis of faith." This righteousness is not self-derived but is granted through faith in Jesus, making it attainable for all who believe.

Conclusion

The Bible presents a range of spiritual blessings and virtues as obtainable for those who seek God with sincerity and faith. Whether it is wisdom, salvation, peace, spiritual gifts, or righteousness, these divine gifts are accessible to believers who align themselves with God's purposes and promises.
