Bible Question: do you have to fasten to be accepted into the gates of heaven |
Bible Answer: If you are referring to fast or fasting, the answer is no. Romans 10:9-11 9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. 11 For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.”(ESV) Fasting is not a requirement to be saved. Being saved is not something we can take credit for, Ephesians 2:8,9 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast. (ESV) Brad |
