PrayingMan Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 Q4. (Daniel 3:28-30) How does Nebuchadnezzar sum up their faith and commitment? Are you willing to disobey a command or law to be faithful to God? Are you willing to lay down your life to be faithful to God? What might hold you back? The king saw faith in action and also saw the power of God in whom they put their trust. He was very impressed with what he witnessed. But he was also impressed that they stood faithful to God under threat of death. They did. It back down. Because of their faith, the king honored their God by making it illegal to disrespect their God. I have been in ministry for many years, but only in recent months have I ever thought it would come to the point in America where I would have to disobey a law of the land in order to honor God. That day is on the horizon and I would stand for Jesus, no matter the cost -with God's help. What might hold me back is relying on my own strength.

Barbiemac Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 Daniel 3:28-30) How does Nebuchadnezzar sum up their faith and commitment? Are you willing to disobey a command or law to be faithful to God? Are you willing to lay down your life to be faithful to God? What might hold you back. They trusted in [their God] and defied[98] the king's command and were willing to give up their lives rather than serve or worship any god except their own God." (3:28b) I believe that I would be faithful to God and lay down my life, I feel that staying close to Him and in His word He would give me the strength needed at the time.

pickledilly Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Nebuchadnezzar began to praise and bless the God of the Jews who revealed unmatched power and faithfulness by sending a divine messenger to protect and deliver His servants. This deity received all the glory as the king commended Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego for their complete faith and trust in their God-above-all-others and for their refusal to obey, honor, or serve any other. They were willing to die rather compromise. "Are you willing to disobey a command or law...to lay down your life...to be faithful to God?" This is a serious question that becomes more and more timely for believers as the darkness of evil seems to gain new ground every day and this world draws ever closer to the coming time of final cleansing and judgment. Nine people at an American community college just lost their lives one by one, specifically because they refused to deny their faith in Christ as a gun was pointed at their heads. I have strong faith, but am humbled by lessons from Peter's denial. I can only pray for such courage should I ever be faced with such a situation. I do not ever want to betray Him.

Old Jerry Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 Nebuchadnezzar summed up their faith by saying that they would rather give up their life then bow down to an image made by man. I think that I would be willing to disobey a command or law to be faithful to God. I hope that I would be like those Christians kids in Oregon that gave up their lives and said that they would rather follow God than deny Him. I have thought about this quite a bit so I hope that there is nothing that is holding me back. But I have learned that you don’t know what you will do until you have been in that situation.

Moises Percu Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 How does Nebuchadnezzar sum up their faith and commitment? Are you willing to disobey a command or law to be faithful to God? Are you willing to lay down your life to be faithful to God? What might hold you back? The king was constrained to recognize the young Jews were correct and to accept he had no power above people if God would not had permitted. Nowadays, I and all Christians have to disobey laws and not follow the politically correct behavior imposed on us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joy irowa Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 They trusted their God, changed the kings word that they might not serve any other god except their own God It is not of him that wills or of him that runs but of God that shows mercy (romans 9:16) .............for by strenght shall no man prevail (1 samuel 2:9) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frangena Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Nebuchadnezzar summed up their faith and commitment in Daniel 3:28b when he said "They trusted in their God and defied the kings command and were willing to give up their lives rather than serve or worship any god except their own God." It is important for me as a Christian to follow God's commands than to follow men's orders. I am prepared to take my cross and follow my Saviour by turning away from sinful lifestyle and doing what the Bible tells me to do as a follower of Christ. This is not easy but one has to keep on striving to live according to God's statutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lionwolf Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 Q4. (Daniel 3:28-30) How does Nebuchadnezzar sum up their faith and commitment? Are you willing to disobey a command or law to be faithful to God? Are you willing to lay down your life to be faithful to God? What might hold you back? Nebuchadnezzar was amazed that three young men's commitment to God was so strong that these three men were willing to be thrown into a fiery furnace, facing certain death, to obey God's commandments regardless of the consequences. We all want to believe we will be faithful to God and do what he requires even unto death. Jesus suffered a death so painful that man today has trouble comprehending. And he did it willingly. And he did it for us. Would I willingly lay down my life to be faithful to God? I believe my faith is strong enough to accept this. Hopefully nothing would hold me back. This life is transitory but Heaven is forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
