Should we keep Sunday a special day of rest for Jesus our Lord?

Actually it is about having a relationship with the God who created us.
Yes it is ... and we acknowledge that fact by worshiping on the day He created for us ... not a manmade day.

The Sabbath is about more than the day we assemble for worship. I wonder about how you keep the day holy before and after church?

Pagan festivvals ?

There is no before and after EKKLESIA. Set apart ones in Jesus are always set apart (unless they fall away of course). Day and night, morning and evening, 1st day, 2nd day, 3rd day, 4th day, 5th day, 6th day, Shabbat, always holy, always set apart.

Today is the day and now is the time. 2 Corinthians 6:2
Commandment #4: “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.” (Exodus 20:8) This is probably the most misinterpreted of the Ten Commandments. In essence, God was telling His people that they were to keep this day, the Sabbath, as holy to Him.

The Hebrew word for “holy” literally means “separate” or “set apart.”

The Sabbath was established at the end of the creation week—the seventh day—after God created the heavens, the earth, and the first humans. He “blessed the seventh day and made it holy” (set apart from the other days) because He rested from all His work (Genesis 2:2-3, ESV).

God set the sabbath day apart ... made it holy and asks us to remember and to KEEP it holy (keep it set apart) and reminded us to do so in the 4th commandment.

Isaiah 56:6
And the foreigners who join themselves to the LORD to minister to Him, to love the name of the LORD, and to be His servants—all who keep the Sabbath without profaning it and who hold fast to My covenant—

I have and always do maintain ... we are not privy to who is or isn't or will be saved. All judgement is up to Jesus and we are not privy to that.

However ...

The 7th dat Sabbath HAS ALWAYS BEEN, from the book of Genesis, to the book of Exodus, to the book of Numbers, to the book of Nehemiah, to the NT time period.. ALWAYS been in the context of a 7 day week that Yahweh Himself established. Nowhere in the word of God does it state it has ever been changed.

I keep it because the Lord says to remember it and KEEP it holy and also because Jesus kept it and He is our example in all things.

God did not make the 1st day holy (set apart) ... man did.

Follow the Lamb wherever He goes

1 Peter 2:21 ESV​

For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps.

Good enough for me

“Today, if you hear His voice,

8do not harden your hearts,

as you did in the rebellion,

in the day of testing in the wilderness,

9where your fathers tested and tried Me,

and for forty years saw My works.

10Therefore I was angry with that generation,

and I said,

‘Their hearts are always going astray,

and they have not known My ways.’

11So I swore on oath in My anger,

‘They shall never enter My rest.’”d



12See to it, brothers, that none of you has a wicked heart of unbelief that turns away from the living God.
13But exhort one another daily, as long as it is called today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.

14We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly to the end the assurance we had at first. 15As it has been said:

“Today, if you hear His voice,

do not harden your hearts,

as you did in the rebellion.”e

16For who were the ones who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt? 17And with whom was God angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? 18And to whom did He swear that they would never enter His rest? Was it not to those who disobeyed? 19

So we see that it was because of their unbelief that they were unable to enter.

Actually, I was asking about how you make the day holy and set apart before and after your formal Christian assembly. Gathering for community worship checks one box. What then?

Truthfully gathering for community worship is rarely holy. Because the people are not holy (set apart in Jesus).

Suppose, (not the best example), the son of a king of some country travels through the country and even in other lands.
At any point , normally speaking, is he always the son of the king, no matter where he goes, or what he does ?

So also, those who are sons of YHVH remain sons moment by moment, day after day, regardless if they are gathered together or scattered about, every day not by man's choice at all.

It seems a simple question, few are unwilling to answer. Hasidism would have no trouble or hesitation to detail their observant practice. Why is it so tough for Christians?

10Therefore I was angry with that generation,

and I said,

‘Their hearts are always going astray,

and they have not known My ways.’

Psalm 95:10-11:​

> "For forty years I was angry with that generation;

Forty years God was mad at them? God is mad at them because they were afraid to attack a people that were bigger and stronger than they are? The Israelites were afraid to enter the Promised Land. This fear is detailed in Numbers 13-14, where Moses sent twelve spies to scout the land of Canaan. Upon their return, ten of the spies brought back a discouraging report, emphasizing the strength and size of the inhabitants, which instilled fear among the Israelites:

My wife has more faith than I do and less fear. But she has not been through what I have been through.

In Jesus is no fear of man nor of religion. Just grief at the destructive force of both upon men.
I have fear, but according to the Bible God is mad at me for not having faith and trust and believing in Him.

I cannot go into detail with the history of your life or post or what you've revealed knowingly or unwittingly....
but yes, without faith it is impossible to please God. Don't expect any reward. But realize that YHVH is not mad at you (we hope); rather He grieves over anyone's death, even the death of the wicked. He gets no pleasure in the death of a soul.

The voice 0r voices you listened to in the past have failed you.

Turning to Jesus, coming to Jesus, to be healed, may still be possible.
