The Advent Truth.
“God is not judging people on what day they worship on.”
At first glance, that sounds reasonable. The problem is that Scripture never says it.
In fact, the Bible repeatedly teaches that God judges people based on whether they obey what He has revealed.
Nobody is claiming that a person is saved by a day. We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone. But grace does not make God’s commands optional.
The real question is this: If God doesn’t care about the day, why did He specify one?
Why did He bless the seventh day?
Why did He sanctify the seventh day?
Why did He write the Sabbath commandment with His own finger in stone?
Why did He tell us to “remember” it?
God could have said, “Worship Me whenever you want.” But He didn’t.
Many Christians say God doesn’t care about the day. Yet the very existence of the Fourth Commandment proves otherwise.
The issue has never been merely a day on the calendar. The issue is authority.
In Eden, the forbidden fruit wasn’t magical. The test was obedience.
Naaman could have argued that all rivers contain water. But God specified the Jordan.
The walls of Jericho could have been approached a thousand different ways. But God specified one.
Throughout Scripture, God often tests His people through seemingly simple commands. The command itself is not the point. Trusting and obeying the One who gave it is.
Revelation describes God’s last-day people as those who “keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus” (Revelation 14:12). Notice that faith and obedience are not enemies. They work together.
The irony is that many people who would never say, “God doesn’t care if I steal,” or “God doesn’t care if I commit adultery,” suddenly argue that God doesn’t care about the one commandment that begins with the word “remember.”
Nobody will be saved by Sabbath keeping.
But neither will anyone be saved by explaining away what God clearly said.
The issue isn’t the calendar.
The issue is whether God has the right to tell His creatures how He wants to be worshipped.
