THE ADVENT TRUTH
September 1st
Most Catholics who reject the Sabbath fall back on the same recycled excuses—“the church changed it,” “it doesn’t matter which day you worship,” or “Jesus is my Sabbath rest.” But notice something: not one of those reasons comes from the Bible itself. They all come from tradition. The Protestant Reformation was built on the principle of sola Scriptura—that the Bible alone is the rule of faith and practice. This isn’t just a Protestant invention; it’s a biblical principle. “To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them” (Isaiah 8:20). Jesus declared, “Sanctify them through Thy truth: Thy word is truth” (John 17:17). Paul affirmed that “all Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable… that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works” (2 Timothy 3:16–17).
The Sabbath commandment is part of the Ten Commandments—written by God’s own finger, placed in the ark of the covenant, and never once changed by Christ or the apostles. To call it “Jewish” is to ignore that it was sanctified at Creation before there ever was a Jew (Genesis 2:2–3). To argue “it was changed” is to admit the Bible wasn’t the authority—tradition was. And to say “Jesus is my rest” is true—but Jesus being our spiritual rest never cancels the day of rest He Himself kept (Luke 4:16) and claimed as His own: “The Son of Man is Lord also of the Sabbath” (Mark 2:28).
If you truly stand on sola Scriptura, then the seventh-day Sabbath is unavoidable. And Christ warned plainly, “In vain do they worship Me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men” (Mark 7:7). The Sabbath remains God’s test of loyalty, His sign between Him and His people forever (Exodus 31:16–17; Ezekiel 20:12, 20). Rejecting it on the basis of excuses is simply admitting that the authority of the church outweighs the authority of God’s Word.
So the question is simple: Will you follow the Bible and the Bible only, or tradition?
