Bible Question:
Hi, my question today has to do with fasting. If you decide to fast for a day, where in the bible can I read all about what your sapose to do when you fast, and how your sapose to fast, and what exactly is fasting? Thank you. |
Bible Answer: Matt 6:16 "Whenever you fast, do not put on a gloomy face as the hypocrites do, for they neglect their appearance so that they will be noticed by men when they are fasting. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full. Matt 6:17 "But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face Matt 6:18 so that your fasting will not be noticed by men, but by your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you. Is 58:6 "Is this not the fast which I choose, To loosen the bonds of wickedness, To undo the bands of the yoke, And to let the oppressed go free And break every yoke? Is 58:7 "Is it not to divide your bread with the hungry And bring the homeless poor into the house; When you see the naked, to cover him; And not to hide yourself from your own flesh? |
