3/2 Matthew 5:33-37
33 “Again, you have heard that the law of Moses says, ‘Do not break your vows; you must carry out the vows you have made to the Lord.’ 34 But I say, don’t make any vows! If you say, ‘By heaven!’ it is a sacred vow because heaven is God’s throne. 35 And if you say, ‘By the earth!’ it is a sacred vow because the earth is his footstool. And don’t swear, ‘By Jerusalem!’ for Jerusalem is the city of the great King. 36 Don’t even swear, ‘By my head!’ for you can’t turn one hair white or black. 37 Just say a simple, ‘Yes, I will,’ or ‘No, I won’t.’ Your word is enough. To strengthen your promise with a vow shows that something is wrong.
YES
Yes we can follow Jesus. Yes we can be cleansed from our sin. Yes we need to do that quickly when we sin. It is important that I let the Holy Spirit show me my sin and that I quickly repent when I recognize this. Seek the Lord while He may be found. Ask Jesus to keep your heart, mind and body free from sin.
