Remember the Sabbath Day to Keep it Holy

Jesus said:

8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:

10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:

11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

Christ’s Atonement and Sabbath Day Observance

 

1. Let us ask ourselves how important the Lord’s atonement is to us. How dear to us is the Lord Jesus Christ? 

2. How deeply are we concerned about immortality? 

3. Is the resurrection of vital interest to us?

4.  We can readily see that observance of the Sabbath is an indication of the depth of our conversion.

5.  Our observance or nonobservance of the Sabbath is an unerring measure of our attitude toward the Lord personally and toward his suffering in Gethsemane, his death on the cross, and his resurrection from the dead. 

6. Sabbath Day observance or nonobservance is a sign of whether we are Christians in very deed, or whether our conversion is so shallow that commemoration of his atoning sacrifice means little or nothing to us. 

7. Do we realize that most national holidays are observed more widely than is the Sabbath, so far as its divine purpose is concerned? Then have we put God in second or third place? And is that what we want to do? Is that where he belongs?

8. I bear you testimony that to properly observe the Lord’s holy day is one of the most important things we can ever do. It is an essential step toward our eternal salvation.
