The Sabbath

Remember the Sabbath

Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor, and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God.

For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy. Exodus 20

The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath Mark 2:27

We believe in the 7th day Sabbath which is Saturday. Remembering the Sabbath day, to keep it holy is one of the Ten Commandments found in the Bible.

Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labour, and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. Exodus

The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. Mark 2:27

In Exodus 20:8-11 The Lord told the people of Israel that the Sabbath was very important, that their obedience in honouring it was a sign of their faithfulness to Him. The sabbath should be a blessing and a joy. A day of reverence and worship. We can learn how to keep the Sabbath day holy by studying the Savior Jesus Christs life.

The purpose of the Sabbath is for spiritual uplift, for a renewal of our Covenant with God, for worship, for rest, for prayer. It is for the purpose of feeding the spirit, that we may keep ourselves unspotted from the world by obeying God's command.

Keeping the Sabbath day holy expresses our love for the Lord and shows our gratitude for his goodness. When we follow his commandment, we receive blessings from him. Jesus Christ taught that the Sabbath day was made for our benefit Mark2:27. The sabbath calls for constructive thoughts and actions.

Seek to make the Sabbath day more spiritual. Discuss ways to keep the Sabbath day holy.

Ask yourself three questions:

1. Is it doing good? 2. Is it spiritually rewarding? 3. Would Jesus Christ do it?

Call the Sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord, honourable. Isaiha 58:13
