Bible Question:
Is keep the sabbath a requirement for salvation ? Is it a sin to not keep the sabbath? |
Bible Answer: Jesus said in the New Testament under the New and Living Way of knowing the Father, through a personal relationship to Jesus, apart from the Old Testament law, that THE SABBATH was made FOR MAN and that He was the LORD OF THE SABBATH. Some believe that since the Jews celebrated the Sabbath on Saturday that we should do the same. Most Christians who celebrate the Lord's resurrection choose Sunday to worship Him and set apart for Him because this is when He rose from the dead, three days after the Friday He was crucified. The Bible also says that some people are convicted to honor certain days and others have a freedom not to. That seems strange, but that's the kind of freedom we have in Christ Jesus. He has set us free from the LAW OF SIN AND DEATH. We now choose to live a life that pleases Him out of our love for Him, not out of any obligation or fear of punishment. PERFECT LOVE CASTS OUT ALL FEAR. Email me if you want the Scripture references that I am referring to in this. DoggieGrace@msn.com |
