Bible word applications

Bible words application.

               It is noted, that the dictionary definitions, are not always in harmony with the application of those words found in the scripture.  While the dictionary offers a wide and useful explanation of words, those definition change in time. however, the bible application of those words does not change.  Thus, to the average reader, the secular dictionaries can fall short of the depth of those words, found in the bible.

               It does not help, when different denomination decided to “interpret” those words and their definition, to fit their denominational twist. (called paraphrased) This cause even more confusion in understanding the word of God.

 It has been a good practice, to compare words in the scripture, with other verses, where those words are found.

It will be discovered; some words have more than one meaning. but when looking at how those words are used, and considering the scripture before and after that verse, a clear understanding of those words can come to light.

Note: this is my understanding of these words, as I have found them used in the bible. I know there are others, who may have a much clearer definition.  This list has helped me a lot, so I thought I would share it with others.

 A quick over view of:  words, and how they apply in the bible!

These word applications, are not the same as a word definition.

  For example; the word Death, in human terms means to die or to stop living! But in Gods vocabulary, Death means satans domain of sin!

So, here we see a vast difference of the modern definition and the biblical application of words. They may or may not, align with what we think them to be. But in reading and comparing the words in the bible, and how they are used, I trust you may find this list helpful.

1. Sinner: someone who commits sin.
2. Saved: a sinner who confess their sin to Jesus, ask forgiveness, and starts living a life of righteousness, forsaking all sin.
3. Backslidden: someone who was once saved, but has returned to the unrighteousness ways of sin.
4. Hypocrite: one who professes to know God, but continues to deliberately sin. 
5. Sanctified: someone who has been filled with the holy Spirit.
6. Glorified: a saint who has gone into heaven.
7. Gods Testimonies: Those moments when God speaks to us, or the times when we sense Gods wonderful presence.
8. The fear of the Lord: to fear God or to fear his wrath!

Pro 1:7  The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. 

Pro 8:13  The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
