Hi Sister Charrisse,

Thanks for your great post today, Saturday, the Holy Sabbath Day. It's so nice to hear that you observe God's Sabbath Day.

I also believe that Christians can go to church/worship any day of the week, or everyday if they desire. We can fellowship/worship in a house, on line, in a parking lot, in a park, or anywhere where 2 or more meet to praise God Jesus tells us: Matthew 18:20

"For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them."

Back to the Sabbath. I observe the Sabbath on Saturday, and I truly believe it is a great gift from God to mankind! There are so many wonderful blessings that we can receive by honoring and keeping Holy this day. I've listed below many great reasons to help encourage others.

1. God commands us to keep the Sabbath

2. The Holy Sabbath is God's sign to His People

3. Jesus is the Lord of the Sabbath

4. Jesus Kept the Sabbath

5. We should obey God rather than men

6. The apostles and the first century church kept the Sabbath

7. The Sabbath reminds us of who our creator is

8. The Sabbath provides us with mental and physical rest

9. The Sabbath helps to deepen our faith

10. The Sabbath strengthens our relationships, with family, and brethren

11. The Sabbath brings us closer to God

12. The Sabbath provides dedicated time to draw closer to God.

13. The Sabbath provides us additional blessings from God

14. When we observe the Sabbath we also let our working animals rest on this day

15. The Sabbath reminds us to help others

16. The Sabbath reminds us to not be a part of this world!

17. When we observe the Sabbath we show God that we are submissive and obedient to HIM.

18. We observe the Sabbath because we LOVE Jesus/God!

The Holy Sabbath Day is a wonderful gift from God to us. Even Jesus tells us he is the Lord of the Sabbath. He wouldn't want to be Lord of something that is not good!

Happy Sabbath Day, and God Bless!

Bro dan,

Absolutely,

Without God we are nothing and He is Everything to me. I pray for all my Brothers and Sisters in the world, everyday.

I pray for the Lost everyday that are in the world. I pray for the Peace of Jerusalem and that Jesus will come quickly everyday.

Jesus is coming very soon, time is running out for the lost. Each day gets more and more evil and it seems that we are losing the battle, but God will never lose the battle. Those of us that believe that Jesus is the Christ the Son of the Living God will be rewarded. The lost will be losers of life with Him for Eternity. What a wonderful God we have for providing a way to be with Jesus wherever He goes, we will be with Him. Praise God, for He is worthy to open the Seals of God. There is no one else to do it. Jesus paid the price with His wiliness to die with our sins cast on Him and His blood was poured out to cover our sins. We should be placed on that cross, but He stood in our place for us. Why, because He loved us, He gave us the way to God. I will praise God forever. Amen!

Hi Sister Laura,

Thanks for your response, as well the reminder of the great sacrifice that Christ made for ALL OF US! Amen

I agree, It does seem that the "end times" are fast approaching, the events taking place are his signs to His people, even so, we must be ready for our Savior!

Matthew 24:32-33

"Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors."

God Bless

Bro. Dan i love ya...GBU...But ya gotta realize that we are in New Covenant....And its NOT according to the old levitical Priesthood, now its acccording to what Jesus is Saying...He wants everyday Holy not just Saturday...Notice that ALL his disciples followed Jesus every day...It was akin to a marriage,...He said he was the true vine and they were the branches and they wd have to abide in him every day 24/7...Or they wd wither and die...He was impling they had to abide in him forever like a branch and a great tree of life and if the branches were separated at any time they wd wither and die...This abide in me and i in you was a New Covenant,...They wd have to leave wife and Children and everything..Forsake all and follow him...They cd not worship him in any kind of a limited fashion...Unless you forsake all and follow me you cannot be my disciple...The branches had to abide in the vine 24/7 .Not just 1 day a week...This new covenant is a marriage covenant...John the Bap. told the Pharisees when they ask about Christ and his disciples that he that has the bride is the bridegroom....Under this New Covenant nothin less then 100 % of their cooperation was acceptable...All their hearts all their minds all of their strenght etc...I.E. under this New Covenant every day was the Sabbath day...And the last day is a 1000 yr day when Jesus will reign on this earth....Jesus said that if anyman love wife and children or family more then me they are not worthy of me....God himself wd have to put his spirit in a man to make him wanna follow the Christ with all his heart and minds etc...Leaving his wife and Children etc....

Remember David saw the whole world at REST nd full of his Glory.

Hi Bro Alex,

Thanks for your input. We agree on some, and not on others. I pray God's Spirit will help to guide us both, in growth, toward the correct understanding of the scriptures.

Yes, we are under God's New Covenant, please notice; God said in "His New Covenant" he will write His Laws into our Hearts and into our Minds. The same Laws/10 Commandments that were written in stone. These are God's MORAL Laws, not to be confused with the old testament ceremonial laws.

Hebrews 8:10

"For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:"

God's 10 Commandments will last forever, or until heaven and earth no longer exist! Don't take my word, study the scripture, here is God telling us this very plainly:

Matthew 5:18

"For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled."

Jesus is telling us that His MORAL LAWS will never to go away until His Kingdom is fulfilled. Meaning, all prophesies are completed. Including the end times per His revealings in the book of Revelations, and until - finally His Kingdom is in place.

Happy Sabbath Day and God Bless You!
