What does the Bible say about fasting?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible portrays fasting as an outward expression of mourning and humility before God.

In the context of Luke 5:33-39, Jesus illustrates that fasting is not merely an external ritual but a spiritual practice that reflects true mourning for sin and humility before God. The practice of fasting should point to a relationship with Christ rather than serve as a mere badge of religious conduct. Fasting is ultimately a display of one's heart towards God, showing dependence on Him rather than an attempt to gain favor through works.
