Bible Survey: Part OneSample

This chapter defines a special vow a person can take if they want to enter into a special relationship with God. It is not required, but there are always those who wish to take their relationship with God to a higher level. We will read later about Samson. He was a Nazirite, though not a very successful one. John the Baptist has similarities as well.

Although there are Christians who want to take their commitment to God to higher levels, there is no parallel that is this extensive in the New Testament. There are many who have done amazing things for God and those who have made incredible sacrifices, but they have done so without ceremonies or restrictions that go beyond public prayer, similar to what happens in Acts 13:3.
