We are to rest on the Sabbath.This does not mean to sleep and do nothing.The focus of our time needs to be on building our relationship with God.”Be still, and know that I am God: …” (Ps 46:10)We find rest when we come to Jesus. (Mt 11:28-30)

Keeping the correct day is essential, but we must also keep it properly, as God has commanded.The Sabbath is a day to spend building our relationship with God, individually and corporately.Church fellowship, family time, nature walks, bible study, ministry. (Lev 23:3, Lk 4:16, Ac 13:14-16)Note on Lev 23:3: Convocation – “An assembly.”…[Read more]

Upon being threatened by the Jewish leaders, the early church quoted in unison from the 4th commandment. (Ac 4:21-24)The controversy over circumcision is mentioned in the new testament. (Ac 15:1-31)No controversy, whatsoever, is reported about Sabbath observance in the new testament.

The reason God decided to “rest” on the first Sabbath was not due to fatigue. (Isa 40:28)God blessed the Sabbath and made it holy. (Ge 2:3, Ex 20:11)He did not do this for any of the other days.The Sabbath is an eternal memorial of the Creation and a sign of the Creator. (Ex 31:16,17, Ps 111:2-4)The Sabbath is a sign that we are His people.…[Read more]

The Sabbath will continue to be kept in heaven. (Isa 66:22,23)God commands us to “Remember” the Sabbath. (Ex 20:8)The only commandment with a caution to remember, implies that we would forget it.God promises that those who keep the Sabbath will be blessed. (Isa 56:2, Isa 58:13,14)

The Sabbath is part of God's moral law (the Ten Commandments), which is immutable.The law is perfect. (Ps 19:7, Jas 1:25 compare Jas 2:11,12)The law is eternal. (Ps 111:7,8)The law is unchangeable. (Dt 4:2, Mt 5:17,18, Lk 16:17)”My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.” (Ps 89:34)

The Sabbath was instituted at creation. (Ge 2:1-3, Ex 20:11)The Sabbath was the first full day for Adam and Eve. (Ge 1:26,31)The Sabbath was instituted at creation before the first human sin.The Sabbath is not just for the Jews, but rather for all men. (Mk 2:27)Marriage was also instituted at creation (Ge 2:21-24) and is also not just for the Jews.

The only reference to “Lord's Day” in the New Testament (Rev 1:10) refers to Sabbath, not Sunday (Isa 58:13, Mt 12:8)

Sunday is the day of the Sun, which was honored by pagan Sun worshippers.God categorized sun worship at the temple as the greatest of its “abominations”. (Eze 8:6-18)Note: Tammuz – a Babylonian god of vegetation, pastures, and flocks

The seventh day is the Sabbath. (Ex 20:10)The forty year double miracle of manna (Ex 16:4,5,19-30,35)We must distinguish between the holy and the common. (Eze 22:26,31)Any other day is not acceptable.

We must obey God rather than men. Mt 15:3,8,9, Ac 5:29God says “remember”, men say “forget”. Ex 20:8The Sabbath vs. Sunday controversy has at its center the issues of worship and obedience.”If ye love me, keep my commandments.” Jn 14:15Throughout the centuries, God has preserved a remnant that has faithfully kept His Sabbath. Ex 31:16,17, Eze…[Read more]

Daniel predicted the Sabbath apostasy. (Da 7:25)The fourth commandment is the only one that involves a time element.Paul predicted apostasy in the church. (Ac 20:28-31, 2Th 2:1-12)
