Vows (A promise to God)

Romans 8:28 

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” (NIV)

     When making vows to God, it is important to fulfill them. Ecclesiastes 5:4-5 says, "When you make a vow to God, do not delay in fulfilling it. He has no pleasure in fools; fulfill your vow. It is better not to vow than to make a vow and not fulfill it." The commitment made in marriage is a sacred vow. Malachi 2:14-16 emphasizes faithfulness in marriage: "The Lord is the witness between you and the wife of your youth. You have been unfaithful to her, though she is your partner, the wife of your marriage covenant."

​

Jesus teaches the importance of honesty and integrity in our words. Matthew 5:33-37 advises, "But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all... All you need to say is simply 'Yes' or 'No'; anything beyond this comes from the evil one." Keeping our word and being truthful is emphasized. Commitment to God's Commands: Believers are called to keep God's commandments. Deuteronomy 6:17 says, "Be sure to keep the commands of the Lord your God and the stipulations and decrees he has given you."

​

Commitment to Righteous Living: Psalm 119:106 states, "I have taken an oath and confirmed it, that I will follow your righteous laws." Committing to live according to God's principles is important. Promise to Follow Jesus: Following Jesus involves a commitment to discipleship. Luke 9:23 says, "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me."

These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation but take courage; I have overcome the world.”
