If you make a vow to the Lord and break it, will HE forgive you?

Answer 1

He will forgive you if you confess and repent and have placed your trust in Jesus for your salvation and been born again by the Holy Spirit.

1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

Hebrews 10:11 Day after day every priest stands and performs his religious duties; again and again he offers the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. 12 But when this priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God. 13 Since that time he waits for his enemies to be made his footstool, 14 because by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy.

Answer 2

I have some problem with this ,because the Bible does speak of broken vows to the Lord and says it's better to never make a vow than to break it. Perhaps this could mean that we will have to suffer over the broken vow, BUT God is a forgiving God and I do believe He will forgive ,it you sincerely repent and don't do it again. This is my opinion.

Answer 3

Scripturally, a vow is a solemn promise made to God to perform an act, make an offering, enter a service or condition, or abstain from certain things not unlawful in themselves. The Bible contains accounts of vows that were conditional in that they involved a pledge to follow a stated course if God first did something. For example, Hannah, the mother of the prophet Samuel, “went on to make a vow and say: ‘O Jehovah of armies, if . . . you will not forget your slave girl and actually give to your slave girl a male offspring, I will give him to Jehovah all the days of his life, and no razor will come upon his head.’” (1 Samuel 1:11) The Bible also describes vows as being voluntary.
What if one makes a vow that he later realizes was made rashly? Should he still seek to fulfill the vow? It was not easy for Jephthah to carry out the vow that he made to God, but he conscientiously did so. (Judges 11:30-40) A person’s failure to pay a vow could lead to God’s becoming “indignant” and tearing down what the individual had accomplished. (Ecclesiastes 5:6) Treating lightly the matter of fulfilling a vow could result in a withdrawing of God’s favor.
Jesus Christ said: “Just let your word Yes mean Yes, your No, No; for what is in excess of these is from the wicked one.” (Matthew 5:37) A Christian must be concerned not merely about paying vows to God but also about proving trustworthy in all his words—to God and to humans.

Answer 4

IF..you have confessed that you believe, then God (who created you & knew you before conception) also knew every act of sin & rebellion - past, present & future will forgive! HE knows that we are unable to be Holy (that's why we need a SAVIOR after all) and HE knows that we do what we don't want to do. HE also expects us to repent, turn away, be grieved by our sins, ask for forgiveness and try to the best of our human ability to change. Bottom line: YES!!!!!! "I'm forgiven, because He was forsaken"

Answer 5

Sure. That's His word.
Of course will you forgive yourself for the failure.
Or will you just come to the conclusion that you're mortal anyway and you can make mistakes because you know you'll be forgiven.
In which case you'd better have a long chat with The Man.

Answer 6

I'm more concerned with making vows to myself and not letting myself down. Rather than pretend I am still 4 years old and there is an Invisible Daddy who will punish me for being human.

Answer 7

he vowed adam and eve would die the DAY they ate the fruit didn't he? why shouldn't he forgive when he didn't keep his own promise? obviously they were forgiven and cut a break.

then again he could have just wiped them out existence and created something that WASN'T a complete dumb a@@ like human beings.
