The concept of "achieved" in the Bible is often associated with the fulfillment of God's promises, the completion of tasks or missions, and the realization of divine purposes. The term itself may not be explicitly used in many translations, but the idea permeates the biblical narrative through various accounts and teachings.

Fulfillment of God's Promises

Throughout Scripture, the achievement of God's promises is a central theme. In the Old Testament, God makes covenants with His people, promising blessings, land, and a future Messiah. The fulfillment of these promises is seen as an achievement of divine will. For instance, the promise to Abraham that his descendants would inherit the land of Canaan is achieved when Joshua leads the Israelites into the Promised Land (Joshua 21:43-45): "So the LORD gave Israel all the land He had sworn to give their fathers, and they took possession of it and settled there. And the LORD gave them rest on every side, just as He had sworn to their fathers. Not one of their enemies withstood them, for the LORD had delivered all their enemies into their hands. Not one of all the LORD’s good promises to the house of Israel failed; everything was fulfilled."

Completion of Tasks and Missions

The Bible also highlights the achievement of specific tasks and missions assigned by God. Nehemiah's successful rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem is an example of achieving a God-given mission despite opposition (Nehemiah 6:15-16): "So the wall was completed in fifty-two days, on the twenty-fifth of Elul. When all our enemies heard about this, all the surrounding nations were afraid and lost their self-confidence, because they realized that this work had been done with the help of our God."

Realization of Divine Purposes

The ultimate achievement in the biblical narrative is the realization of God's redemptive plan through Jesus Christ. The life, death, and resurrection of Jesus are seen as the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies and the achievement of salvation for humanity. Jesus Himself speaks of His mission as being accomplished in John 19:30 : "When Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, 'It is finished.' And bowing His head, He yielded up His spirit." This declaration signifies the completion of His sacrificial work on the cross, achieving redemption for all who believe.

Personal Achievement in the Christian Life

In the New Testament, believers are encouraged to achieve spiritual maturity and fulfill their God-given purposes. The Apostle Paul often speaks of running the race and fighting the good fight as metaphors for achieving the goals set before Christians. In 2 Timothy 4:7-8 , Paul reflects on his own life: "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. From now on there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but to all who crave His appearing."

Divine Assistance in Achievement

The Bible emphasizes that true achievement is not solely the result of human effort but is accomplished through divine assistance. Philippians 4:13 states, "I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength." This verse underscores the belief that achievements in the Christian life are made possible through the empowerment of Christ.

In summary, the concept of "achieved" in the Bible encompasses the fulfillment of God's promises, the completion of divinely appointed tasks, and the realization of God's redemptive purposes, all of which are accomplished through His power and guidance.(imp. & p. p.) of Achieve.342. anakainosis -- renewal
