The concept of being "regulated" in a biblical context often pertains to the idea of order, governance, and adherence to divine law. While the term "regulated" itself is not explicitly used in the Bible, the principles of regulation are evident throughout Scripture, particularly in the context of God's laws, commandments, and the orderly conduct expected of His people.

Divine Law and Order

The Bible presents God as a God of order, who establishes laws and commandments to regulate the lives of His people. In the Old Testament, the Mosaic Law serves as a comprehensive system of regulation for the Israelites. This law covers various aspects of life, including moral, ceremonial, and civil regulations. In Deuteronomy 6:1-2 , it is written: "These are the commandments and statutes and ordinances that the LORD your God has instructed me to teach you to follow in the land that you are about to enter and possess, so that you and your children and grandchildren may fear the LORD your God all the days of your lives by keeping all His statutes and commandments that I give you, and so that your days may be prolonged."

Regulation in Worship

The Bible also emphasizes the regulation of worship practices. In the Old Testament, God provides specific instructions for the construction of the Tabernacle, the conduct of sacrifices, and the observance of holy days. These regulations are intended to ensure that worship is conducted in a manner that honors God and reflects His holiness. Leviticus 10:3 states, "Then Moses said to Aaron, 'This is what the LORD meant when He said: I will show My holiness to those who are near Me, and I will reveal My glory before all the people.' And Aaron remained silent."

New Testament Perspective

In the New Testament, the concept of regulation is often associated with the guidance of the Holy Spirit and the teachings of Jesus Christ. Believers are called to live lives that are regulated by the Spirit, producing the fruit of righteousness. Galatians 5:22-23 describes the fruit of the Spirit as "love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law."

The apostle Paul frequently addresses the regulation of behavior within the church, urging believers to conduct themselves in a manner worthy of the gospel. In 1 Corinthians 14:40 , Paul instructs, "But everything must be done in a proper and orderly manner," highlighting the importance of regulation in maintaining harmony and edification within the body of Christ.

Regulation of Conduct

The Bible also speaks to the regulation of personal conduct, urging believers to exercise self-control and discipline. In 1 Thessalonians 4:3-4 , Paul writes, "For it is God’s will that you should be holy: You must abstain from sexual immorality; each of you must know how to control his own body in holiness and honor." This regulation of conduct is seen as a reflection of one's commitment to living a life that is pleasing to God.

Conclusion

While the term "regulated" may not appear verbatim in Scripture, the principles of regulation are deeply embedded in the biblical narrative. From the laws given to Israel to the guidance of the Holy Spirit in the New Testament, regulation serves as a means by which God orders the lives of His people, ensuring that they live in accordance with His will and purpose.(imp. & p. p.) of Regulate.2167. euphrosune -- gladness
