Topical Encyclopedia

In the context of the Bible, the term "regards" often pertains to the consideration, respect, or attention given to individuals, actions, or principles. The concept of regarding others and God is deeply embedded in biblical teachings, emphasizing the importance of respect, honor, and acknowledgment in relationships and spiritual life.

Regard for God and His Commandments

The Bible frequently underscores the necessity of regarding God with reverence and obedience. In Deuteronomy 6:5, believers are instructed to "Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength." This commandment highlights the utmost regard one must have for God, prioritizing Him above all else. The fear of the Lord, which is often equated with a deep respect and regard for His authority and holiness, is described as the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 9:10).

Regard for Others

Scripture also emphasizes the importance of regarding others with love and respect. In Philippians 2:3-4, Paul writes, "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or empty pride, but in humility consider others more important than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others." This passage encourages believers to regard others with humility and selflessness, reflecting the love of Christ in interpersonal relationships.

God's Regard for Humanity

The Bible reveals God's regard for humanity through His acts of love, mercy, and salvation. Psalm 8:4-5 marvels at God's attention to mankind: "What is man that You are mindful of him, or the son of man that You care for him? You made him a little lower than the angels; You crowned him with glory and honor." This passage illustrates God's high regard for human beings, despite their frailty, and His desire to bestow honor upon them.

Regard for Justice and Righteousness

The biblical narrative consistently calls for a regard for 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 regard believers must have for living a life that reflects God's justice and mercy.

Warnings Against Misplaced Regard

The Bible also warns against misplaced regard, such as valuing material wealth or human approval over God's will. In Matthew 6:24, Jesus teaches, "No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money." This admonition serves as a reminder to maintain proper regard for God above worldly pursuits.

Conclusion

The concept of "regards" in the Bible encompasses a broad spectrum of relationships and attitudes, from the reverence due to God to the respect and love owed to others. It calls believers to align their hearts and actions with divine principles, ensuring that their regard is rightly placed according to biblical teachings.
