Subject: is fasting a command for us ,where is it |
Bible Note: As far as the New Covenant is concerned, there is no formal command to fast. However, we do find at least 3 instances of fasting in the book of Acts, ( 13:2; 13:3; 14:23;). This would seem to indicate that it is still a useful practice. It's also interesting to note that after Acts, there is no more mention of fasting in the New Testament. Peace in Christ, Machaira |
