Bible Question:
The apostles did observe the Sabbath, including in a community without a synagogue (Acts 16:13). Do you wnat others? So ... ae we free to violate the fourth commandment alone and not rest? If YOU change the day to Sunday - do you keep it holy or make it a holiday? |
Bible Answer: "True worship means focusing on the Lord rather than ourselves. The Israelites were commanded to devote one day out of seven to focus on God (Ex. 20:8-11). To do that, they were told to cease from their normal labors, just as God ceased, or paused, from His work or creation on the seventh day (Gen. 2:1-3). Christians are not bound to keep the Sabbath, but they are commanded to worship the Lord together (Heb. 10:19-25), and traditionally this has occurred on the first day of the week (1 Cor. 16:2)."
