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:
Exodus chapter 20 verse 10
but the seventh day is a Sabbath to tho Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your animals, nor the alien within your 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 (Sanctified) it.
Gen 2:1-3
Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2 And
on THE seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he
rested on THE seventh day from all his work which he had made.
3 And
God blessed the seventh day,
and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
Mark 2:27 "
The Sabbath was
made For mankind"
Is 66:23 "From Sabbath to Sabbath shall
ALL mankind come before Me to Worship
"
Galatians chapter 3 verse 24,25,23 So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith
Indeed we are reminded of that each time we read in the Law of God "Honor your Father and Mother"
And "Do not take the name of the Lord thy God in Vain"
and "Love God with all your heart and soul" Deut 6:5
and "Love your neighbor as yourself" Lev 19:18
As Gal 3 points out this law leads the lost person to faith in Christ as the lost person sees his/her need of salvation from sin and the fact that the perfect law of God condemns the unloving ways of the wicked --dooming them to the second death - lake of fire.
now that faith has come we are no longer under the supervision of the law before this faith came we were held prisoner's by the law locked up until faith should be revealed.
Gal 3 and Romans 3 point out that the entire world is shut up under sin - accountable to God - in rebellion against God's Law.
But the New Covenant then writes the Law of God on the heart and mind - Jer 31:31-33.
And as Paul points out in Romans 8:5-8 while the wicked are still at war with the law of God - the saints sweetly comply with it.
No wonder Paul can say to the saints - "what matters is Keeping the Commandments of God" 1Cor 7:19
No wonder even the sunday-keeping sources listed in the signature line below - get this obvious Bible teaching.
in Christ,
