Topical Encyclopedia

The concept of agreement is a significant theme in the Bible, reflecting unity, harmony, and collective decision-making among believers. The term "agreed" and its derivatives are often used to describe the consensus or mutual understanding reached by individuals or groups, particularly in the context of faith and community.

Old Testament Context

In the Old Testament, agreement is often seen in the context of covenants and promises. For example, the covenant between God and His people required mutual agreement and adherence to the terms set by God. Amos 3:3 poses a rhetorical question that underscores the necessity of agreement for walking together: "Can two walk together unless they have agreed to do so?" This verse highlights the importance of unity and shared purpose in relationships, whether between individuals or between God and His people.

New Testament Context

The New Testament further develops the theme of agreement, particularly within the early Christian community. In Matthew 18:19-20 , Jesus emphasizes the power of agreement in prayer and decision-making: "Again, I tell you truly that if two of you on the earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by My Father in heaven. For where two or three gather together in My name, there am I with them." This passage underscores the spiritual authority and presence of Christ when believers come together in agreement.

The early church exemplified agreement in their communal life and decision-making processes. Acts 15 describes the Jerusalem Council, where the apostles and elders came together to agree on the requirements for Gentile converts. This agreement was crucial for maintaining unity and doctrinal consistency within the growing church.

Theological Implications

Agreement among believers is not merely a practical necessity but a reflection of the unity found in the Godhead. The Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—exists in perfect agreement and harmony, serving as a model for human relationships. In John 17:21 , Jesus prays for His followers, "that all of them may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I am in You. May they also be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me." This prayer highlights the theological significance of agreement as a testimony to the world of God's love and truth.

Practical Applications

In the life of the church, agreement is essential for effective ministry and witness. It involves not only doctrinal unity but also practical cooperation in service and mission. Ephesians 4:3 exhorts believers to "make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace." This involves humility, patience, and love, as believers work together to fulfill the Great Commission.

Agreement also plays a role in conflict resolution within the church. Matthew 18:15-17 outlines a process for addressing sin and restoring relationships, emphasizing the importance of agreement in the steps toward reconciliation.

Conclusion

While the Bible does not always use the word "agreed," the concept permeates Scripture, calling believers to unity, cooperation, and shared purpose in their walk with God and each other.
