What is the meaning of Lent? | GotQuestions.org

Should Christians observe Lent? Is the traditional practice of Lent, that 40-day period of fasting and self-denial between Ash Wednesday and Easter Sunday, really about earning God's favor? Many Catholics and Protestants observe Lent, but does giving something up align with what the Bible teaches about grace and how Jesus taught fasting? In this video we explore the true meaning of Lent, moving beyond mere ritual to consider genuine repentance, focusing on Jesus' death and resurrection, and consecrating oneself to God – perhaps not just for Lent, but every day.
