The Nazarite Vow<\/strong> – Sermon Outline by G. E. Watkins on the parallels between the Nazarite vow and the Christian life. From Numbers 6:1-21<\/p>\n

INTRODUCTION:<\/strong> Numbers 6:1-21<\/p>\n

1. God anticipated that there would be those in Israel who would want to go beyond the average.<\/p>\n

2. God provided a way for them to do so.<\/p>\n

3. They were to make a voluntary vow to God.<\/p>\n

4. Not just any vow but one that God would specify.<\/p>\n

5. I believe the Nazarite Vow<\/em> to be a fore-shadowing of the Christian walk which is closer to God than the walk of any previous dispensation.<\/p>\n

DISCUSSION:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I.   The Nazarite vow was A GREATER SEPARATION, VV. 1-2:<\/h2>\n

1. Every child of Israel was to be separate from the nations. They were to be holy to the Lord.<\/p>\n

2. This was going beyond what every Israelite was required to do.<\/p>\n

3. The child of God of the Christian age is the highest expression of this desire.<\/p>\n

4. We are authorized to go beyond in our:<\/p>\n

1) Giving (2 Cor. 8:3-4)<\/p>\n

2) Prayer.<\/p>\n

3) Love.<\/p>\n

4) In fact in every aspect of our service to God (1 Pet. 2:2; 2 Pet. 3:18)<\/p>\n

II.  The Nazarite vow was A GREATER SOBRIETY, VV. 3-4:<\/h2>\n

1. The Nazarite was to keep himself from all forms of the grape. Not even incidental alcohol was allowed.<\/p>\n

2. The priest was to keep himself from alcohol so that he would discern the holy from the unholy (Lev. 10:8-11).<\/p>\n

3. Every Christian is a priest (Rev. 1:6). We are all to be holy, discern the holy from the unholy and keep ourselves sober (1 Thess. 5:6, 8).<\/p>\n

III. The Nazarite vow was A GREATER DISTINCTION, VV. 5-6:<\/h2>\n

1. Israelites were not to look like the nations around them.<\/p>\n

1) They were to be without the skin markings.<\/p>\n

2) They were to be without the beard trimmings.<\/p>\n

2. Nazarites were to look like Nazarites.<\/p>\n

1) They could be seen anywhere to be Nazarites.<\/p>\n

2) Even the least discerning could tell what they were.<\/p>\n

3. Christians are to look like Christians.<\/p>\n

1) We are not to look like the world.<\/p>\n

2) We are to look like those who profess godliness (1 Tim. 2:10).<\/p>\n

IV.  The Nazarite vow was A GREATER CLEANLINESS, VV. 7-12:<\/h2>\n

1. The average Israelite was far cleaner than the Gentiles. (Ex. Remedies using excrement, etc.)<\/p>\n

2. The Nazarite, like the priest was to go beyond.<\/p>\n

1) He was never to be unclean.<\/p>\n

2) And if he did accidentally he had to become clean and start his vow over again.<\/p>\n

3. Every Christian is to be clean before God at all times. Every form of sin is to be shunned (2 Tim. 2:22), and if find ourselves unclean, the blood of Christ is to be applied and we are to start anew (1 John 1:7-9).<\/p>\n

V.   The Nazarite vow was A GREATER VOW, VV. 13-21:<\/h2>\n

1. The Israelite went far beyond the Gentile in his service to God.<\/p>\n

2. The Nazarite went far beyond the regular Israelite in his service to God.<\/p>\n

3. The Christian goes beyond even that because his vow never ends (Rev. 2:10).<\/p>\n

CONCLUSION:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. The Christian should pay the vow that he took when He put on Christ in baptism.<\/p>\n

2. He should obey Christ and be clean by the blood of Christ.<\/p>\n

3. He should be faithful unto death.<\/p>\n

Needs to be filled out a bit for a 30 minute sermon. I wrote it for 10 minutes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
