Vows (Tampa Bay, )

Vows

God expects us to take our promises very seriously.Leviticus 5 4 Or if a soul swear pronouncing with his lips to do evil or to do good whatsoever it be that a man shall pronounce with an oath and it be hid from him when he knoweth of it then he shall be guilty in one of these. God takes our promises seriously and will hold us to them.Proverbs 20 25 It is a snare to the man who devoureth that which is holy and after vows to make enquiry. Jesus emphasized the importance of keeping our word.Matthew 5 37 But let your communication be Yea yea Nay nay for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.James 5 12 But above all things my brethren swear not neither by heaven neither by the earth neither by any other oath but let your yea be yea and your nay nay lest ye fall into condemnation. Vows made to God must be taken seriously and fulfilled promptly.Ecclesiastes 5 4 When thou vowest a vow unto God defer not to pay it for he hath no pleasure in fools pay that which thou hast vowed.Ecclesiastes 5 5 Better is it that thou shouldest not vow than that thou shouldest vow and not pay. A marriage between a man and woman is permanent in God s eyes.Matthew 19 5 And said For this cause shall a man leave father and mother and shall cleave to his wife and they twain shall be one flesh Matthew 19 6 Wherefore they are no more twain but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together let not man put asunder.Vows are very important to God. He expects us to treat vows the same way He does.
