Today's date is June 15, 2019. For most of the world this is just Saturday on the calendar; to God it's the Sabbath Day. Why is this a Sabbath? Today is the seventh day of the week. Yes contrary to popular teachings and beliefs the Sabbath is still relevant today. Did you know that God created the Sabbath at creation and not at Mount Sinai? It's true!
Gen 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
Gen 2:2 And on the seventh day God finished his work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work that he had done.
Gen 2:3 So God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it God rested from all his work that he had done in creation.
Indeed God did create the Sabbath and blessed it and made it holy. My question is how can it only be applied to Jews since there were no Jew on the planet at the time of creation? That is for you to study and prove to yourself.
I want to list some scriptures that prove the Sabbath day is still relevant today. I want you, the reader, to study them out of your Bible. At the end of this article I will post links to booklets to help you in your study.
Exodus 20:8-11
Deuteronomy 5:12-14
Isaiah 58:13
Matthew 12:8
Mark 2:28
Luke 6:5
Acts 13:42-44
Acts 15:21
Acts 16:13
Acts 17:2
Acts 18:4
Hebrews 4:9
There are many more verses related to the Sabbath Day. Please look them up and read them. Apply the timelines. Why would Paul still teach the Sabbath Day years after Christ's resurrection? We find in these scriptures he did just that. Consider this thought and may God richly bless your study.
