Thank God it&#8217;s all grace, to keep it, to repent from sin, and to get back on track, is proof of His grace working through us. Christ always taught to follow his example to fulfill the law as He did so perfectly.<\/p>\n<p>Every believer should know this topic inside and out. The Sabbath aren&#8217;t just one of those &#8220;least of the commandments&#8221; Christ told us to also keep. The Sabbath is part of the big 10!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>WHY DID THE APOSTLES AND THE EARLY CHURCH OBSERVE THE SABBATH?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>(THE APOSTLES KEPT SATURDAY AS THE SABBATH AND SUNDAY AS THE LORD\u2019S DAY \u2013 CAN WE DO ANY LESS?)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>1. After working the first six days of the week in creating this earth,<\/p>\n<p>the\u00a0great God rested on the seventh day. (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bibleserver.com\/KJV\/Genesis2%3A1\" class=\"bibleserver extern\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Genesis 2:1<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>2. This stamped that day as God&#8217;s rest day, or Sabbath day, as Sabbath<\/p>\n<p>day\u00a0means rest day. To illustrate: When a person is born on a<\/p>\n<p>certain\u00a0day, that day thus becomes his birthday. So when God rested<\/p>\n<p>upon\u00a0the seventh day, that day became His rest, or Sabbath Day.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>3. Therefore the seventh day must always be God&#8217;s Sabbath day. Can you<\/p>\n<p>change\u00a0your birthday from the day on which you were born to one on<\/p>\n<p>which\u00a0you were not born? No. Neither can you change God&#8217;s rest day<\/p>\n<p>to\u00a0a day on which He did not rest. Hence the seventh day is still<\/p>\n<p>God&#8217;s Sabbath day.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>4. The Creator blessed the seventh day.
