Fasting: abstaining from food for religious reasons
why fast...
- to put God first
- Jesus did when he fasted for 40 days and nights in the desert, also to remember his suffering
- to remind themselves to rely on God
- teaches self control which can be used in following commandments for example
Some prefer to do positive actions rather than give something up( focus normal life)
As Stewards (someone who looks after something for someone else- Christians look after God's creation), Christians should not eat food produced with chemicals/cruelty
"All the animals, birds & fish...I give them all to you for food...must not eat meat with blood still in it...the life is in the blood"
Jesus created food- feeding of five thousand, fishing with disciples, wedding at Cana
