The Vow of the Nazarite
Numbers 6:1-21
And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,…


Acceptable personal consecration to God is characterised by —

1. Voluntariness. The service of the slave, or of the hireling, Be rejects.

2. Completeness. Divided allegiance is no allegiance.

3. Subordination of sensual enjoyments. Our animal passions must be controlled by moral principles. Everything which tends to weaken our soul's vision, to blunt our susceptibility to spiritual impressions, to interrupt our communion with God, or to deprive us of spiritual purity and power, we are bound to abstain from.

4. Separation from all moral evil.

(W. Jones.)
