The term "fixeth" is an archaic form of the verb "fix," which means to set firmly in place, establish, or make stable. While the specific term "fixeth" does not appear in the Berean Standard Bible , the concept of fixing or establishing is prevalent throughout the Scriptures. This entry explores the biblical understanding of fixing, particularly in relation to God's actions, human responsibilities, and spiritual truths.

Divine Fixing and Establishment

In the Bible, God is often depicted as the one who fixes or establishes the natural order and the moral laws of the universe. Psalm 119:90 states, "Your faithfulness continues through all generations; You established the earth, and it endures." Here, the psalmist acknowledges God's role in fixing the earth in its place, highlighting His sovereignty and the enduring nature of His creation.

Similarly, God's establishment of His covenant with His people is a recurring theme. In Genesis 17:7 , God declares to Abraham, "I will establish My covenant as an everlasting covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you for the generations to come, to be your God and the God of your descendants after you." This covenant is fixed by God's promise and faithfulness, underscoring the unchanging nature of His commitments.

Human Responsibility to Fix

The Bible also calls upon believers to fix their hearts and minds on God and His commandments. In Deuteronomy 11:18 , it is written, "Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads." This directive emphasizes the importance of internalizing God's Word and making it a central part of one's life.

Moreover, the New Testament encourages believers to fix their eyes on Jesus as the author and perfecter of their faith. Hebrews 12:2 exhorts, "Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." This passage calls Christians to focus steadfastly on Christ, drawing strength and inspiration from His example.

Spiritual Truths and Fixing

The concept of fixing is also applied to spiritual truths and the believer's identity in Christ. Colossians 3:2 instructs, "Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things." This verse encourages believers to fix their thoughts on heavenly realities, aligning their lives with the eternal truths of God's kingdom rather than the transient concerns of the world.

Furthermore, the assurance of salvation and the believer's position in Christ are fixed by God's grace. Ephesians 2:8-9 affirms, "For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast." This salvation is a fixed reality, secured by God's unmerited favor and not dependent on human effort.

In summary, while the term "fixeth" itself may not be present in the Berean Standard Bible, the concept of fixing is integral to understanding God's unchanging nature, the believer's focus on divine truths, and the stability of God's promises. Through His Word, God calls His people to fix their hearts, minds, and lives on Him, ensuring a firm foundation in faith and practice.
