SABBATH

Should we worship on Saturdays or Sundays? Is it really important on which day you worship? This has been a bone of contention for a long time. However, God has shown us the answers to these things as he promised He will do in Revelation 10:7. One of the 10 commandments says Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labour and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

The Bible itself explain these clearly. It even tells us the meaning of the Sabbath and what it is meant for Christians today.

Therefore, since the promise of entering his rest (Sabbath) still stands, let us be careful that none of you be found to have fallen short of it. For we also have had the gospel preached to us, just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, because those who heard did not combine it with faith. Now we who have believed enter that rest, just as God has said,

“So I declared on oath in my anger,

‘They shall never enter my rest.’”

And yet his work has been finished since the creation of the world. For somewhere he has spoken about the seventh day in these words: “And on the seventh day God rsted from all his work.” And again in the passage above he says, “They shall never enter my rest.”

Jesus sets us free from our own works

It still remains that some will enter that rest, and those who formerly had the gospel preached to them did not go in, because of their disobedience. Therefore God again set a certain day, calling it Today, when a long time later he spoke through David, as was said before:

“Today, if you hear his voice,

do not harden your hearts.”

For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day. There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from his. Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following their example of disobedience

(Hebrew 4:1-11)

Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ. (Col 2:16-17)

Jesus said, Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. (Matt 11:28)

So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath. (Mark 2:28)

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.

Jesus gives us rest from our works ( sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, etc).  I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. (Galatians 5)

Jesus Is Lord
