KEEPING THE SABBATH HOLY, COMES FROM THE HEART OF THE CONVERTED CHRISTIAN.
Sabbath observance, like obedience to God’s other commandments, should come willingly from the heart of the converted Christian, not as an attempt to put God in our debt. Thankfully, God’s New Covenant promises include a “new heart” (Ezekiel 36:26). He also says, “I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them” (Ezekiel 36:27).
Again, He says, “I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people” (Hebrews 8:10). God’s true people are Spirit-empowered commandment-keepers. They always have been. Always will be. By faith, they believe His promises, receive His Spirit, and keep His commandments. The Sabbath is a weekly reminder of these spiritual truths.
In Eden, Adam and Eve celebrated God and His complete provision for their needs every Sabbath. In redemption, He likewise provides for our every need. Jesus is “THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS” (Jeremiah 23:6). The seventh-day Sabbath reminds us of this eternal truth. And we’ll be reminded from week to week through ceaseless ages as we honor His day (Isaiah 66:23).
Sabbath-keeping is a weekly thanksgiving, an expression of gratitude and worship of our Creator and Redeemer, according to His commandment. It’s not optional. It’s indispensable for the born-again believer. Sure, some saints have lived and died without this understanding, and God will not hold that against them (Acts 17:30). But soon, we will all celebrate the Sabbath together.
God told Israel, “Surely My Sabbaths you shall keep, for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am the LORD who sanctifies you” (Exodus 31:13). This hasn’t changed. The Sabbath is still a sign of sanctification for believers.
Will you depend on His righteousness and give thanks by keeping His Sabbath?
