如果一个人作出的耶和华，许愿或发誓一些协议，发誓要绑定自己，他将不会打破他的话，他将尽一切按照从他嘴里的收益。数字30:2

我们生活的这个世界的谎言和欺骗的蓬勃发展。这世俗文化环绕着我们的蔑视和拒绝真理。在过去几年中，全球跨国公司暴露的欺骗和腐败。即使是世界著名的会计师事务所被抓住虚报。在许多国家，调查显示，广播和印刷媒体是一直稳居最不信任的社会机构。

难怪以赛亚先知大声疾呼：“正义是转身，讲正气站远处，真理是在街上下降”（以赛亚书59:14）。而且，因为真理是在街上下降，我们不断假设不敬 虔的人倾向于撒谎，欺骗我们。真理的原因各地人民的损失，成为持怀疑态度，玩世不恭和untrusting。大卫之间的差异和扫罗在他们对真理的热爱。当 扫罗是由他的不服从真理面前，他拒绝了，并指责它的人（1 Sam.15 :19 - 21）。当大卫是由他与拔示巴通奸事件的真相面前，他接受了，从他的罪过忏悔。因为扫罗不是一个热爱真理，他失去了他的王国，在他去世的时间是悲剧。由于 大卫是一个热爱真理，他的王国，甚至更多。基督徒必须学会热爱真理和真理的沟通时，他或她作出承诺。这是上帝的性格，他是真理，他传达给我们的真理。五原 则;

神的话语：

（1）神的话语是他的本质（约翰福音1:1）的表达。

（2）神的话语是他的性格措施（启示录1:8）。

（3）神的话被放大了他的名字以上（诗篇138:2）。

（4）神的话语是信仰的唯一来源和行为绝对统治（罗马书10:17）。

（5）神的话语是他的债券（希伯来书6:13）。因为神的话语是他的债券，我们的话必须是我们的债券！圣经说，“这是一个
罗网一个人贸然投入作为神圣的东西，后来重新考虑他的誓言“（Prov. 20:25）。耶稣说，“但是，让你的'是'是'是的，'和你的'不'，'号'无论什么比这些更是从恶者”（马太福音5:37）。

许多基督徒方便的借口，从口头上的承诺，使自己。让您的承诺，你的配偶，子女，你的牧师和你的上帝！记住，你的话就是你的债券。守信证人的性质和特点，在你的上帝活着。

Daily Devotion! - Promise Keeper

If a man makes a vow to the LORD, or swears an oath to bind himself by some agreement, he shall not break his word; he shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth.

Numbers 30:2

We are living in a world that thrives on falsehood and deception. This worldly culture that surrounds us despises and rejects truth. In the last few years, global multinational corporations were exposed for deception and corruption. Even world-famous accounting firms were caught falsifying reports. In many countries, surveys show that broadcast and print media are consistently ranked the least trusted institutions in society.

No wonder Isaiah the prophet cries out, “Justice is turned back, and righteousness stands afar off; for truth is fallen in the street” (Is. 59:14). And because truth is fallen in the street, we constantly assume that ungodly people are predisposed to lie and cheat us. The loss of truth causes people everywhere to become skeptical, cynical and untrusting. The difference between David and Saul was in their love for the truth. When Saul was confronted by the truth of his disobedience, he rejected it and blamed it on the people (1 Sam.15:19-21). When David was confronted by the truth of his adulterous affair with Bathsheba, he accepted it and repented from his sin. Because Saul was not a lover of truth, he lost his kingdom and died a tragic death before his time. Because David was a lover of truth, his kingdom became even greater. A Christian must learn to love truth and communicate truth when he or she makes a promise. This is the very character of God—He is Truth and He communicates truth to us. Five principles about

God’s Word:

(1) God’s Word is the expression of His nature (John 1:1).

(2) God’s Word is the measure of His character (Rev. 1:8).

(3) God’s Word is magnified above His name (Ps. 138:2).

(4) God’s Word is the sole source of faith and the absolute rule of conduct (Rom. 10:17).

(5) God’s Word is His bond (Heb. 6:13). Because God’s Word is His bond, our word must be our bond! The Bible says, “It is a
snare for a man to devote rashly something as holy, and afterward to reconsider his vows” (Prov. 20:25). Jesus says, “But let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ For whatever is more than these is from the evil one” (Matt. 5:37).

Many Christians conveniently excuse themselves from the commitments they verbally make. Keep your promises to your spouse, your children, your pastor and your God! Remember, your word is your bond. Keeping your promises witnesses to the nature and character of God alive in you.
