OATHS ARE SERIOUS

Oaths hold profound significance in the biblical context, exemplified by Joshua's covenant with the Gibeonites (Joshua 9). Despite being deceived and instructed by God to destroy them, Israel was compelled to honor their vow, highlighting the weightiness of promises made. This concept extends to modern commitments, such as signed contracts and marriage vows. Scriptures like Matthew 5:33-37 and Ecclesiastes 5:1-7 remind us that all spoken commitments carry responsibility. It’s crucial to understand that God expects us to keep our promises, even when they challenge our understanding of His commands.
