Sabbath Day
Deuteronomy
5:15 And
remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the
LORD thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a
stretched out arm: therefore the LORD thy God commanded thee to keep the
sabbath day. (KJV)
This is just a reminder of what manner of
man we were and of the grace and mercy of God our Father. Through His Son
Jesus Christ He delivered us from our destruction and this present evil
world (Egypt), (Romans 6:17-18). And when we enter into His rest and cease
from our own works, in doing this we keep the sabbath day, the day of rest
He has given unto His people, accepting the completed work He has done on
our behalf. Today is the day of
salvation, now is the accepted time to enter into His rest (Hebrews
4:1-11).
Psalms
103:11-18 For
as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward
them that fear him. (12) As far as the east is from the west, so far
hath he removed our transgressions from us. (13) Like as a father pitieth his
children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him. (14) For he
knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust. (15) As for
man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he
flourisheth. (16) For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the
place thereof shall know it no more. (17) But the mercy of the LORD is
from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his
righteousness unto children's children; (18) To such as keep his covenant,
and to those that remember his commandments to do them. (KJV)
Sunday is not the
only day of the week that we are to keep, but each day that the Lord makes
is the sabbath day, even though many still hold to this one day a week
above all others. Don’t be as the many, but be as the few that hold each
day sacred before God laboring to remain in His rest; cease from your own
works, and trust the good work being completed in you in Christ.
1 John 5:3 For this is the
love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not
grievous. (KJV)
