As I stated- we could look for any reason not to obey God or we can find ways to obey Him, the choice is ours.
I was hoping not to have to spell this out that one would take it upon themselves to look for biblical ways to keep the Sabbath commandment because as stated many times it is all throughout the bible.
Here's the Sabbath commandment
Exo 20:8 “
Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9
Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10
but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who
is within your gates. 11 For
in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that
is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.
The Sabbath is
the day to honor God Isa 58:13 so if we exalt any other day as a day of worship above God's Sabbath it is a form of idolatry
Can we look for ways to honor God and keep the Sabbath holy right from the scriptures? We sure can. . .
The Sabbath is a holy convocation Lev 23:3 which means a holy gathering/assembly i.e. Church
Which is how Jesus as His custom kept it reading God's Word in the synagogues Luke 4:16 Mark 1:21
It's how the apostles kept the Sabbath Acts 13:42-44 Acts 18:4
Acts 13:14 because they were commissioned to observe everything Jesus commanded of them Mat 28:18-20 (just as we are)
Teaching God's Word on the Sabbath Mark 1:21, Luke 4:16-22,
Preaching God's Word on the Sabbath Acts 13:42, Acts 18:4
Reading God's Word on the Sabbath Acts 15:21 Luke 4:16-22
Hearing God's Word on the Sabbath Acts 13:44
Reasoning with the Scriptures on the Sabbath Acts 17:2,
Acts 18:4
Prayer on the Sabbath Acts 16:13
Being in nature on the Sabbath Acts 16:13
Song of Praise on the Sabbath Psalm 92:1
Doing good on the Sabbath Matthew 12:12 Luke 14:5 Jesus gave the examples of helping people and animals who are in need
Yes, one can eat on the Sabbath Luke 14:1, Exo 16:25
But one should prepare all the hard work on the Preparation Day- the day before the Sabbath
So very easily one can find many ways to keep the Sabbath commandment through scripture. Should we worship God everyday- of course but that does not mean we don't have a moral obligation to obey God's commandments. God gives us 6 days to get all our work and labors done and only asks for one full day to keep holy and honor Him and sadly people fight against this so much and would rather do what they want on God's holy Sabbath. Keeping God's Sabbath day holy is not meant to be a punishment, it is meant to bless Isa 56:1-6 Isa 58:13-14 and sanctify Eze 12:12 because we can't sanctify ourselves, we need God. Keeping God's Sabbath shows we are worshipping the One True God Eze 20:20 the only God of Creation Gen 2:1-3, Exo 20:11 the same God of Judgement Rev 14:7
