In the context of the Bible, the term "remarked" refers to instances where individuals or God Himself make observations, comments, or declarations that are noteworthy or significant. The act of remarking often serves to highlight important truths, convey divine wisdom, or provide guidance and correction. Throughout Scripture, remarks can be found in various forms, including direct speech, parables, and prophetic declarations.

Old Testament Examples

1. God's Remarks to Moses: In Exodus 3:14, God makes a profound remark to Moses at the burning bush, revealing His eternal nature: "God said to Moses, 'I AM WHO I AM.' And He said, 'This is what you are to say to the Israelites: I AM has sent me to you.'" This declaration underscores God's self-existence and unchanging nature.

2. Prophetic Remarks: The prophets often conveyed God's messages through remarks that called for repentance and faithfulness. For instance, in Isaiah 1:18, God remarks, "Come now, let us reason together, says the LORD. Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool." This remark emphasizes God's willingness to forgive and restore.

3. Wisdom Literature: The Book of Proverbs is filled with remarks that offer practical wisdom and moral guidance. Proverbs 3:5-6 advises, "Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight." These remarks encourage reliance on God's wisdom rather than human understanding.

New Testament Examples

1. Jesus' Teachings: Jesus often made remarks that challenged conventional thinking and revealed deeper spiritual truths. In Matthew 5:14, He remarks, "You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden." This statement calls believers to live visibly righteous lives that reflect God's glory.

2. Parables: Jesus used parables to make remarks that illustrated the Kingdom of God. In the Parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:30-37), Jesus remarks on the importance of loving one's neighbor, transcending cultural and ethnic boundaries.

3. Apostolic Remarks: The apostles, inspired by the Holy Spirit, made remarks that clarified doctrine and encouraged the early church. In Acts 4:12, Peter remarks, "Salvation exists in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved." This underscores the exclusivity of salvation through Jesus Christ.

Significance of Remarks

Remarks in the Bible often serve as pivotal moments that convey God's character, His expectations for humanity, and His redemptive plan. They can be instructive, corrective, or comforting, and they frequently call for a response from the hearer. Whether through direct divine speech, the teachings of Jesus, or the writings of the apostles, these remarks continue to guide and shape the faith and practice of believers.(imp. & p. p.) of Remark.
