More About Fasting
Being in the Middle East, the concept of fasting is not foreign to the people who reside here. The question that may come to mind for some is what differentiates fasting between followers of Jesus and Muslims.
Both Muslims and followers of Jesus fast, but their purposes for fasting differ. Followers of Jesus are not commanded to fast. However, for a Muslim to keep one of the Five Pillars, there is an obligation to fast during Ramadan.
For followers of Jesus, we must remember that the Bible teaches that fasting merits neither God’s favour nor a place in paradise. Jesus remains the only way to the Father.
