Topical Encyclopedia

In the context of the Bible, the term "result" often refers to the outcome or consequence of actions, decisions, or divine interventions. The Scriptures provide numerous examples where the results of human behavior or God's will are highlighted, serving as lessons or warnings for believers.

Divine Results

Throughout the Bible, God's actions lead to specific results that fulfill His purposes. In the creation narrative, the result of God's spoken word is the formation of the universe and everything within it (Genesis 1). Each act of creation concludes with the phrase, "And God saw that it was good," indicating the successful result of His divine will.

In the account of the Exodus, the result of God's intervention is the liberation of the Israelites from Egyptian bondage. The plagues, the parting of the Red Sea, and the provision of manna are all results of God's power and faithfulness to His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Human Actions and Their Results

The Bible frequently illustrates the principle of sowing and reaping, where the results of human actions are directly tied to their nature. Galatians 6:7-8 states, "Do not be deceived: God is not to be mocked. Whatever a man sows, he will reap in return. The one who sows to please his flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; but the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life."

The account of King David provides a poignant example of this principle. David's sin with Bathsheba and the subsequent murder of Uriah result in severe consequences for his family and kingdom (2 Samuel 12). Despite his repentance, the results of his actions bring turmoil and strife, demonstrating the serious nature of sin and its repercussions.

Faith and Its Results

The Bible also emphasizes the positive results of faith and obedience to God. Hebrews 11, often referred to as the "Faith Hall of Fame," recounts the accounts of individuals whose faith resulted in righteousness, deliverance, and fulfillment of God's promises. For instance, by faith, Noah built the ark and saved his family from the flood (Hebrews 11:7), and by faith, Abraham obeyed God's call and became the father of many nations (Hebrews 11:8-12).

In the New Testament, the result of faith in Jesus Christ is salvation and eternal life. 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 ultimate result of faith—a restored relationship with God and the promise of eternal life.

Judgment and Its Results

The Bible also speaks of the results of divine judgment. In the prophetic books, the results of Israel's disobedience are often depicted as exile and suffering. However, these judgments are not without hope, as they are intended to lead to repentance and restoration. The book of Revelation describes the final judgment and the resulting new heaven and new earth, where God's justice and mercy culminate in the eternal reign of Christ (Revelation 21).

Conclusion

The concept of "result" in the Bible underscores the importance of aligning one's actions with God's will and the inevitable outcomes of both obedience and disobedience. Through the narratives and teachings of Scripture, believers are encouraged to consider the results of their choices and to trust in the ultimate results of God's redemptive plan through Jesus Christ.
