The transition from the keeping of the Sabbath to observance of Sunday was a gradual process beginning sometime before A.D. 150 and it continued for nearly three centuries. There was an attempt by some Christians to make clear they were not Jews; hence, they abandoned the Sabbath in favor of Sunday. -
The week in use at the time of Christ is exactly the same week as the week in our calendar of today. Sunday is the first day of the week and Saturday is the seventh day. Jesus lived under the Roman calendar. What the Jews called the seventh day and first day, the Romans called Saturn's day and Sun's day. -
The Sabbath was observed by the Israelites in both the Old and New Testaments. The New Testament did not alter the day of worship. In contrast, it reaffirms the importance of observing the Sabbath on the seventh day of the week. -
The Sabbath as commanded in God's law proclaimed at Sinai. God had given Israel a visual demonstration of His regard for the Sabbath. One purpose for the Sabbath commandment was so that Israel would have time to instruct their children in the ways of the Lord. -
The seventh-day Sabbath was made by Jesus Christ at creation. It was to be kept throughout all times and was to be observed from sunset to sunset. Leviticus 23:32 mentions the observance of one of the ceremonial sabbaths, the Day of Atonement, and says it was to be kept "from even to even." -
Sabbath keeping is more than the mere observance of a day; it is living a life for God. God asks us to keep the Sabbath day for Him; to cease from sin; to do that which is good; to meet for worship and to follow the example of Jesus by going about doing good. -
James tells us who the lawgiver is. " There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?" James 4:12. Christ is the one able to save. -
God's great moral ten commandment law is as eternal as God Himself. This law was in existence at creation. it was "ordained to life." Romans 7:10. This law pointed out sin. The question is, what was the law that Christ Abolished? -
There are three kinds of laws mentioned in the Bible. It is important to distinguish the different characteristics of these laws otherwise one could be guilty of using the sacred scriptures in such a way as to bring about his own destruction. (Read Peter 3:15, 16) -
God's law will endure because of its holy nature. Says David, "All Thy commandments are righteousness." Psalm 119:172. Obedience of God's law must not be merely an outward compliance, but rather a genuine heart service. According to Matthew 5:21-48, perfection involves every thought as well as every action.
