Break Biblical meaning, Break in the Bible, meaning of Break.
To break according to the Bible is to break something to pieces (Deuteronomy 7:23; Jeremiah 19:11). It also refers to taming or softening behavior (Leviticus 26:19; Job 34:24). Similarly, it could refer to breaking the law, an oath, or a promise (Numbers 30:2; Isaiah 24:5). In the Old Testament, God punished sin many times, breaking entire towns. Suffering is a form of brokenness, which only appears when we turn away from God and try to live a life without Him. The consequences of this can be dire, both for individuals and for societies.
The word break comes from the Latin verb “crepantāre” which means “to crackle, crackle, crack.” In general, breaking is associated with breaking something with violence. We have talked about what breaking is in the Bible, but let’s now touch on a very relevant point and it is about faith. True faith cannot be broken. Strengthening it is a duty of every Christian. Everything that is related to the human being and this world is breakable, because it is vulnerable, corruptible.
Therefore, what can never be broken? God can never be broken in any way, nor can his promise of salvation. Holding on to the only thing that cannot be broken or faded is what will give us confidence and security to continue in this world. Those who have faith are very difficult to break by evil. On the contrary, those who live their lives arrogantly, apart from God, sooner rather than later will suffer and end up broken.
Nor is it a Christian way of life, to go around breaking all the laws of God and men. It is necessary to be obedient, only then can we enjoy the salvation that He gave us through Jesus Christ.
