In the context of biblical theology, the concept of "resulting" often pertains to the outcomes or consequences of actions, decisions, and divine interventions as depicted in the Scriptures. The Bible frequently illustrates how certain actions lead to specific results, emphasizing the principle of cause and effect within the moral and spiritual realms.

Divine Justice and Resulting Consequences

The Bible underscores the principle that actions have consequences, a theme evident from the earliest narratives. In Genesis 3, the disobedience of Adam and Eve results in the fall of humanity and the introduction of sin into the world. This narrative sets a precedent for understanding how disobedience to God's commands leads to negative outcomes. The Berean Standard Bible states, "To Adam He said, 'Because you have listened to the voice of your wife and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat, cursed is the ground because of you; through toil you will eat of it all the days of your life'" (Genesis 3:17).

Similarly, the account of Cain and Abel in Genesis 4 illustrates the resulting consequences of sin, as Cain's jealousy and subsequent murder of his brother lead to his curse and exile. The BSB records, "Then the LORD said to Cain, 'Where is your brother Abel?' 'I do not know,' he answered. 'Am I my brother’s keeper?' 'What have you done?' replied the LORD. 'The voice of your brother’s blood cries out to Me from the ground'" (Genesis 4:9-10).

Obedience and Blessings

Conversely, the Bible also highlights the positive results of obedience and faithfulness to God. In Deuteronomy 28, the blessings for obedience are enumerated, promising prosperity, protection, and favor for those who follow God's commandments. The BSB states, "Now if you faithfully obey the voice of the LORD your God and are careful to follow all His commandments I am giving you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth" (Deuteronomy 28:1).

The account of Joseph in Genesis 37-50 exemplifies how faithfulness and integrity result in divine favor and eventual elevation. Despite facing numerous trials, Joseph's steadfastness leads to his rise to power in Egypt, ultimately saving his family from famine. This narrative demonstrates the resulting blessings of perseverance and trust in God's plan.

New Testament Teachings on Resulting Outcomes

In the New Testament, the teachings of Jesus and the apostles further explore the theme of resulting outcomes. Jesus' parables often convey moral and spiritual lessons about the consequences of human behavior. For instance, the Parable of the Sower in Matthew 13 illustrates how different responses to the Word of God result in varying levels of spiritual fruitfulness. The BSB records, "But the seed sown on good soil is the one who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces a crop—a hundredfold, sixtyfold, or thirtyfold" (Matthew 13:23).

The apostle Paul also addresses the concept of resulting consequences in his epistles. In Galatians 6:7-8, he writes, "Do not be deceived: God is not to be mocked. Whatever a man sows, he will reap in return. The one who sows to please his flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; but the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life" . This passage emphasizes the spiritual law of sowing and reaping, highlighting the resulting outcomes of living according to the flesh versus the Spirit.

Eternal Consequences

The Bible also speaks to the ultimate resulting outcomes of one's life choices, particularly concerning eternal destiny. In Matthew 25, Jesus describes the final judgment, where the righteous and the wicked face their respective eternal outcomes based on their actions and faith. The BSB states, "Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life" (Matthew 25:46).

The book of Revelation further elaborates on the resulting consequences of faithfulness and rebellion, depicting the final victory of Christ and the establishment of a new heaven and earth for those who remain faithful. Revelation 21:7-8 declares, "The one who overcomes will inherit all things, and I will be his God, and he will be My son. But to the cowardly and unbelieving, the abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their place will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. This is the second death."

Throughout the Bible, the theme of resulting outcomes serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of aligning one's life with God's will, underscoring the eternal significance of our choices and actions.(p. pr. & vb. n.) of Result.2643. katallage -- reconciliation
