Definition: The word "Allworthy" in the English Bible comes from Greek, which translates to "to be worthy or suitable." It is used as a verb meaning to be deserving or fitting for a particular purpose or state. In the Bible, this concept is often associated with spiritual purity and righteousness. This term typically refers to something being of a certain standard or quality that is considered worthy of acceptance or appreciation. For example: - "For all the commandments which Moses commanded [the Israelites], were all of Allworthy" (Deuteronomy 6:5) - "Hezekiah, king of Judah, said unto Zerubbabel, Lo, thy son shall be found worthy to reign upon thee, as all the other kings that have reigned in the land, and they are not all righteous" (II Chronicles 23:19) The idea is that even a godly or virtuous person may not always be able to maintain their purity and righteousness. This belief is central to Hebrews 8:6 where it says, "For we know that if any man be in Christ, he is a new creation" - which means that God has reformed his thoughts and actions (Galatians 5:17). In summary, the word "Allworthy" in the Bible refers to something being of a certain standard or quality that is considered worthy of acceptance, often associated with spiritual purity. It also implies that even a godly individual may not always be able to maintain their purity and righteousness. The concept is central to Hebrews 8:6, which states that we know that if anyone believes in Jesus Christ, they are new creations as God has reformed his thoughts and actions (Galatians 5:17).
