Usage: The word μνήμη is used in the New Testament to convey the concept of remembrance or memorial. It appears in contexts where remembering is an act of honoring or recalling significant events or individuals. Context: The Greek word μνήμη (mnēmē) is a noun that encapsulates the concept of memory or remembrance. In the New Testament, it is used to emphasize the importance of recalling significant events or individuals, often in a context of honor or reverence. The act of remembering is not merely a mental exercise but is often tied to the idea of commemoration and respect. In the Berean Standard Bible, μνήμη is used in passages that highlight the importance of remembering God's works, the teachings of Jesus, or the lives of faithful individuals. For example, in Luke 1:54, the term is used in Mary's Magnificat, where she speaks of God's remembrance of His mercy: "He has helped His servant Israel, remembering to be merciful." The concept of μνήμη is also significant in the context of the Lord's Supper, where believers are called to remember the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. This act of remembrance is not only a personal reflection but a communal acknowledgment of the foundational truths of the Christian faith. The use of μνήμη in the New Testament underscores the importance of memory in the life of faith, serving as a bridge between past events and present belief. It calls believers to actively recall and honor the works of God and the teachings of Christ, ensuring that these truths remain central in their lives.
