How should we keep the Sabbath holy?

Is there a requirement to worship on the Sabbath?

What does it mean to keep the day holy?

What does it mean to keep the day holy?

It means to take a break from your unholiness of living for yourself, and to stop being selfish for at least one day, in some sort of worship towards God.


Fellowship is with the Father and the Son and then with the Apostles, when we are light and no darkness at all, when they worship in the Spirit.

To not fellowship on every day with them, is not a way.


Also resting, is not yet, for the glorious rest of Jesus Christ..





1 John 1:3 That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.


Isaiah 11:10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.


Hebrews 4:8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.
9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.

What does it mean to keep the day holy?

Fortunately, God answers that.


Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath of the Lord your God; in it you shall not do any work, you or your son or your daughter, your male or your female servant or your cattle or your sojourner who stays with you. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the 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 20:9-11

Sure. How did the Israelites in the exodus know to worship on the Sabbath?

According to Jesus the Sabbath was made for all mankind at creation *Mark 2:27; Genesis 2:1-3. So God's people have always had God's Sabbath since creation through Adam and Eve and through the spoken Words of God that are today recorded as the written Word of God that are written for our admonition. There is however not much written in the early Exodus before Exodus 16 in regards to the Sabbath. Of course for the majority of the Exodus from Exodus 16 to Exodus 40 it is a different story. So no one can argue that the Sabbath was kept or not kept during the starting of the Exodus of the Israelite's from Egypt as there is nothing recorded for or against (silence only). My understanding as a guess only would be that after Joseph's time as ruler of Egypt when the Israelite's became slaves to the Egyptians, they would have lost sight of some of Gods' laws because they were in slavery to the Egyptians. That said this is only my thoughts as the scriptures are silent in this regards. Do you agree with what I have posted here?

 

[prophecy_uk]

All those holy days were not sufficient to make anyone holy, as all died in unholiness.


But the day of the Lord makes the days sanctified, once and for all...





Joel 2:1 Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the Lord cometh, for it is nigh at hand;

Zechariah 14:6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:
7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to the Lord, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
8 And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.




Hebrews 10:8 Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;
9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.
10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

 

[prophecy_uk]

According to Jesus the Sabbath was made for all mankind at creation *Mark 2:27;

Mark 2:24-28, shows how the Jews of Israel kept the lawfulness of sabbath days, and Jesus shows them how that can be altered when a greater law is revealed...




Mark 2:24 And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful?
25 And he said unto them, Have ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was an hungred, he, and they that were with him?
26 How he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and did eat the shewbread, which is not lawful to eat but for the priests, and gave also to them which were with him?
27 And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:
28 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.





Jesus is that greater law, it is the law of Christ, to bear one another's burdens, this is the faith of Christ.






LoveGodsword: " My understanding as a guess only would be that after Joseph's time as ruler of Egypt when the Israelite's became slaves to the Egyptians, they would have lost sight of some of Gods' laws because they were in slavery to the Egyptians."




God made Himself known to Abraham, that is the beginning and why Abraham is the Father ( beginning) to us all.

Abraham received the seal oif circumcision for faith, when he was uncircumcised, as the law is not of faith, so sabbath law cant be a beginning, it was a middle, given to Israel..


Ephesians 2:14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;

Romans 4:9 Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.

Romans 4:10 How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.

Romans 4:12 And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised.

Romans 4:16 Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,



Galatians 3:10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
12 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.

I’m just wondering if you’ll get around to answering the question.

 

[SabbathBlessings]

That’s an argument from silence. Which is fine, if you’ll admit it’s so. Just so we agree that there’s no command to worship on the Sabbath

Interesting you would like to use an argument from silence which is Sunday keeping it certainly is not Sabbath keeping by the very words that came out of our Creator’s mouth Exodus 20:8 and the example that Jesus gave. Luke 4:16

Also, we are not judged based on what others do, we are judged by our own doings. We are not the ones you have to convince you do not have to keep holy the Sabbath day. It seems like if you think you can convince us, it some how negates your own responsibility. Jesus said the Sabbath was made for man Mark 2:27 and God commanded us to keep the Sabbath holy. Exodus 20:8. You can find scripture and examples of how to do this throughout the Bible. Seek and ye shall find. I would consider prayerfully reading the Bible and asking the Holy Spirit for guidance. If one does not harden their heart to the truth you will be led in all ways. Sabbath keeping is one of the easy ones though.

The answer of a good conscience also now saves us, by the resurrection of Jesus Christ.


This is because questions of strife's of words saves nobody...






1 Peter 3:21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:
22 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.


1 Timothy 6:3 If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;
4 He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.

2 Timothy 2:23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.

Jesus revealed on the sabbath day how the sabbath day keepers were keeping in reality nothing of God, which is love mercy, kindness and peace..


Luke 4:16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.
17 And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,
18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.
21 And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.
22 And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph's son?
23 And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country.
24 And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country.
25 But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land;
26 But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow.
27 And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian.
28 And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath,
29 And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong.
30 But he passing through the midst of them went his way,

Jesus said the Sabbath was made for man Mark 2:27 and God commanded us to keep the Sabbath holy. Exodus 20:8.

The sabbath was made for man, and then the new way to keep days holy is revealed through the sanctity of Christs offering of Himself once and for all..


Hebrews 10:10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

You keep changing the argument. I’m not saying to not keep the Sabbath holy. I’m asking where it’s required to worship on the Sabbath. So I’ll ask you directly. Where is the command given to the Israelites to worship on the Sabbath during the exodus?

You’re slicing hairs. Gods Sabbath day is the holy day that God blessed, sanctified and made holy which is worthy of our worship over the other six days that God tells us to do “all our work and labors. Exodus 20:9

Do you think God’s will for us in heaven is different than earth? Because when Jesus comes back the Sabbath continues to be the day we will worship for eternity Isaiah 66:23 and promised by God Exodus 31:16-17

Again, we are not the ones you need to convince.

To want to kill Jesus on the sabbath day, is the only holiness that was displayed here, or do you see it differently..


Luke 4:20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.
21 And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.

So now you’re saying the Pharisees were holy by wanting to murder Jesus on the Sabbath. We must read a very different bible.

Again, we are not the ones you need to convince.

The other six days Jesus walked were all holy days, all blessed days, all sanctified, and Jesus even sanctified Himself so we are sanctified by the truth.

Jesus did worship the Father since being anointed of the Holy Ghost, worship in the Spirit is not in the Gospels for a sabbath day, but for the days of Christ..



Psalm 72:7 In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth.

Isaiah 66:23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the Lord.

 

[prophecy_uk]

So now you’re saying the Pharisees were holy by wanting to murder Jesus on the Sabbath. We must read a very different bible.

Yes I said the only holy thing they display is murder, so they kept nothing holy in sabbath keeping that day and example.

 

[SabbathBlessings]

The other six days Jesus walked were all holy days, all blessed days, all sanctified, and Jesus even sanctified Himself so we are sanctified by the truth.

Isaiah 66:23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the Lord.

Which again the two verses you quoted does not say:

The other six days Jesus walked were all holy days, all blessed days, all sanctified, and Jesus even sanctified Himself so we are sanctified by the truth.

 

[SabbathBlessings]

Yes I said the only holy thing they display is murder, so they kept nothing holy in sabbath keeping that day and example.

Jesus was not murdered on the Sabbath day.
