Bible Question: when did the day of worship change? dont avoid the question.God says in his word "ichange not" "for verily i say to you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. mat.5:18" |
Bible Answer: huckle7berry God's nature does not change. However, when Christ came, He fulfilled all the law for us. We do not have to do the dietary thing and worry about being around things that are "unclean". He did it for us. But the only commandment not reapeated is the one about Saturday being the day of rest and worship. Sunday became the day of worship after Jesus was resurrected for various reasons. He was resurrected and appeared to some of His followers on the 1st day of the week. He continued appearing on succeeding Sundays. The Holy Spirit took place on a Sunday so the pattern was formed. Sunday's were known as the Lord's Day (Rev. 1:10). And whether we decide to worship on a Sunday or Saturday is really irrelevant, as long as we have one day of the week to give to the Lord and meet with other believers (Col. 2:16) and Sunday seems to be the favored day for most believers to meet and worship together.
