Is Fasting a Commandment?


Matthew 6:16-18 - two factors bear directly on the issue. Jesus taught directly in context with his teaching on giving and prayer. We have no more reason to exclude fasting from our practice than we do giving and prayer as part of Christian devotion. Secondly, Jesus states, “When you fast...” He seems to make an assumption that people will fast, and gives instruction on how to do it properly.


Matthew 9:15-17 - this is the most important statement in the New Testament on whether or not Christians should fast today. It is clear that Christ both upheld the discipline of fasting, and though he did not “command” in the strictest sense, he anticipated that his followers would fast.
