To find all the excuses and the misunderstandings that Satan has sown into peoples minds, select God's Sabbath and Antichrist Truth.
Select this link to find out how to keep the Sabbath Holy. Isaiah 58:13-14 “ If you turn away your foot from the sabbath, from doing your pleasure on my holy day and call the sabbath a DELIGHT, the holy of the LORD, honourable and shall honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: 14 Then shall you delight thyself in the LORD and I will cause you to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father: for the mouth of the LORD has spoken it.” Sabbath keeping Churches also know that God said we are to call His Holy day a delight, not legalism. We also find in 1 John 2:4, “ He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his Commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.” See also Matthew 7:21-23, Hebrews 10:26-29. Jesus said in John 14:15, “ If you love me, keep my Commandments.” and in John 15:10, “ If you keep my Commandments, you shall abide in my love even as I have kept my Father's Commandments, and abide in his love.” Jesus obeyed the Fathers Commandments and He asks us to demonstrate our love for Him by doing the same. Even though we cannot earn our way into the kingdom by keeping the Ten Commandments, we are still judged by them and will not make it into the kingdom by not trying to keep them all in love and obedience to God. It is something we do because we love God and our fellow man.
What happens when we devote a full day to God because we love Him so? What is the result of spending quality time with anyone you love? This of course is not legalism by any means and applies to any of the Ten Commandments. These are wonderful signs and very much a blessing.
It is also a SIGN that it is God that sanctifies us and makes us Holy. Sabbath keeping Churches know that keeping the Sabbath day is a SIGN that it is God we love and worship and that we are His children. Select the following for Frequently Asked Questions and misunderstandings on the fourth Commandment. See saved by faith for more detailed information. For even further clarity, Romans 2:13 leaves no doubt as to who is justified before God.
But does this mean we do not have to obey the law? Thankfully, Paul made the answer to this question clear and informs us that we do not make void the law through faith.
Salvation is a free gift and so there is nothing we can do to earn our entrance into the kingdom as we are justified by faith and not by works of the law. The hundreds of different Sabbath keeping Churches that know the blessings of keeping God's Sabbath do not keep the day to earn entrance into the kingdom but keep the day because they love God with all their heart, soul and might. Many say that Sabbath keeping is legalism but legalism is something you do to earn your way to heaven.
