Why Sabbath? ( Its a love thing)
My family and I rest and worship on the 7th Day. And I just wanted to share why it is we use that day for that purpose, instead of Sunday which is the well noted "Lord's Day", and which most chuches use.The resaon is very simple and staright forward. You do not need to go deep in scripture to find it, nor try to find oddles of verses on the Sabbath Day to prove its right.(though there is oodles)
Its very simple, its one of the 10 commandments.
" Remmeber the Sabbath Day to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the 7th 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 man servant, nor thy maid servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates. For in 6 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." Exdos 20: 8-11
We defently believe that we are to keep the 10 commandments today. And we belive no commandment is any less in value: there isn't any that is not necessary. They are all ment to be kept. The commanmnets are kept out of our Love for God. They are not a burden but a joy!!
"If ye love me, keep my commanments". John 14:15
" By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grevious." 1 John 5: 2-3
" And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoso keepth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. He that saith he abideth in him ought himself to walk even as he walked." 1 John : 3-6
To truely love God we have to have 100 percent obedieance. And you really can't have one with out the other, LOVE and OBEDIENCE go hand in hand. You can not truely OEBY unless you turely LOVE, and you can not truely LOVE if you do not truely OBEY. Our love to God is showed in our obedience to Him.
Do not take my word on this, look it up for your self. Get your concordance out and look up scrpituers on the Sabbath Day, commanments, love, and so on. Its there, and He is calling you! He wants your whole heart, your whole devotion, your 100 percent love and obedience!!! He wants you!!
Have a most awesome day!! In Him, Mae

Hey to you to Cuz!!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy to hear from you. And I am glad to hear you think this post is good. I have such a hard time at this: sharing my faith and believs, and doing so in a good and gentle way with out hurting others, and yet not shirking from the truth.
Yes, in the 10 commanments its very clear that the sabbath is on Saturday.Other places is Genesis 2: 2-3 and Hebrews 4: 3-10. Although in those places it does not call it the sabbath but does say that the day of rest is on the 7th day. To look up sabbath or seventh day in a concordance would find many other places.
I like that place that saids we are to walk even as he (Jesus) walked.( 1 John 2:6) And if we take a look at how Jesus walked we can see that Jesus kept his Farthers commandments.( John 15:10) And That maens that Jesus also rested on the sabbath day and he set an example for us to do the same.
To me it is so simply but then I was raised knowing this, so I guess thats why. I would love to share more on this with you. I am so happy you are instreted in knowing more! It makes my heart ever so happy!!!
