Take back the Sabbath

Jo Crivellaro | Dec 09, 2015

Brothers and sisters in Christ; I recently discovered a critically important offence towards God that occurred in generations past, and has become common practice today. Right from the beginning of time, when the first week was created, God gave everybody Saturdays off (Genesis 2: 1-3), a day to take a break from our hard work and routines; time set aside to sit back, relax, enjoy the planet and acknowledge the incredible genius of its creator. God said this day was special, Holy in fact, and He reminded us many, many times throughout the Scriptures that we were to continue to observe it as so, to time indefinite. It was so important to Him that He wrote it in stone as part of the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20: 11, Leviticus 23:3).

Unfortunately, as part of our test in this first round of life, we encounter opposition to Gods' sovereignty and have others trying to tell us something different (2 Timothy 2 - 4). Many churches officially changed the Holy day to Sunday under the influence of Roman leader Constantine in 325 A.D. at which time many pagan and Christian practices were merged. Going to church on Sunday is not wrong. It's fabulous. But is working on Saturday acceptable to God? If working on Saturdays was acceptable, if God had changed his mind, would He have not made that equally clear in the Scriptures?

Don't just take my word for it. Or anybody else's for that matter. Pray. God knows your heart. If you're seeking the truth, He will give it to you. The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom (Psalms 111:10). May God bless you in your efforts.
