Better Not to Vow Ecclesiastes 5:1-5

Better Not to Vow What is a vow? Strong (5088) neder – a promise to God; a thing promised. Strong (5087) nadar – to promise (to do or give something to God). A Vow was a promise to God, a very serious matter in scripture!

Better Not to Vow Vows were authorized of God – Numbers 30 Verses 1-2 Deal with laws concerning Vows in general Verses 3-16 Deal with the specifics of Vow with respect to certain relationships. Man had authority to bind himself in a vow, but once done he was commanded to keep it! (cf. verse 16.)

Jephthah’s Vow Text - Judges 11 Promised to God that the first thing to come out of his house would be a burnt offering to Him (God) if He would grant Jephthah and his army victory over Ammon. Victory was obtained. Jephthah’s daughter came to meet him.

Jephthah’s Vow Lessons learned. His vow was rash The consequences brought anguish upon him His daughter was subject to those consequences. “I cannot go back.” He had to be committed according to law (Numbers 30). Commitment before God is serious!

We Must Be Committed To… The God of Heaven – Commitment – 2 Timothy 1:12 Life is committed – Galatians 2:20; 1 Peter 2:5, 9 Consequences for not keeping – 2 Peter 2:20; Matthew 7:21-23; Luke 9:62. FAITHFULNESS = COMMITMENT!!!

We Must Be Committed To… The Vow of Marriage – Matthew 19:1-9 Witnessed by God – Malachi 2:14ff Life Long – Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:6 Strictly regulated by God – Matthew 19:1-9 Consequences – Isaiah 59:1-2; 1 Corinthians 7:10-11. CLEAVE = COMMITMENT

We Must Be Committed To… Employer/Employee Relationship – Genesis 2:15; Ephesians 6:5-9; Ecclesiastes 9:10. Our attitude toward work reflects our character in Christ! Commitment to Christ = commitment to our work!

We Must Be Committed To… Our words – Matthew 5:33-37; 23:16-22; Proverbs 6:16ff; Ephesians 4:25; Revelation 21:8 Failure to be people of our word is failure to be committed! Keeping our word = commitment!

Commitment to God Nation Promise – Exodus 19:6 Land Promise – Joshua 21:43-45; 23:14 Seed Promise – Galatians 3:16 God is committed to us. We should be committed to Him!

Commitment to God Are we committed to God?
