Our Promise Keeping King Matthew 5:33 37
Do you possess Christ-like integrity? When did you last trust someone who broke their promise to you? When was the last time you broke your promise to someone else?
Matthew 5 33 Again, you have heard that it was said to our ancestors, You must not break your oath, but you must keep your oaths to the Lord.
Matthew 5 34 But I tell you, don t take an oath at all: either by heaven, because it is God s throne; 35 or by the earth, because it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, because it is the city of the great King. 36 Do not swear by your head, because you cannot make a single hair white or black.
Leviticus 19:2 Be holy because I, the Lord your God, am holy 19:12 Do not swear falsely by my name, profaning the name of your God; I am the LORD. 19:18, love your neighbor as yourself
Matthew 5 37 But let your yes mean yes, and your no mean no. Anything more than this is from the evil one
Ecclesiastes 5 4 When you make a vow to God, don t delay fulfilling it, because he does not delight in fools. Fulfill what you vow. 5 Better that you do not vow than that you vow and not fulfill it. 6 Do not let your mouth bring guilt on you, and do not say in the presence of the messenger that it was a mistake. Why should God be angry with your words and destroy the work of your hands? 7 For many dreams bring futility; so do many words. Therefore, fear God.
Those who lacked integrity King David (2 Samuel 11) Gehazi (2 Kings 5) Judas (John 12) Ananias and Sapphira (Acts 5)
Ephesians 4 15 But speaking the truth in love, let us grow in every way into him who is the head Christ. 25 Therefore, putting away lying, speak the truth, each one to his neighbor, because we are members of one another. 29 No foul language should come from your mouth, but only what is good for building up someone in need, so that it gives grace to those who hear.
Jesus is our promise-keeping King For every one of God s promises is Yes in Jesus. Therefore, through him we also say Amen to the glory of God. 2 Corinthians 1:20
