THE
LAW - REVELATION OF GOD'S CHARACTER
God's
law (the ten commandments) was published, spoken, and written by those who take
Israel out of Egypt, and it is Christ.
God's
law is based on the qualities of God and there is a revelation of his
character :

Obedience
to the law is immutable, consonant to the will of God and his nature.
The
law has been known for people to Sinai :
I.
"Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: let my people go" (Exodus
5.1).
II.
"And how Laban went to shear the cattle his teraphim of his father"
(Genesis 30.15).
III.
"But Pharaoh said, who is the Lord?" (Exodus 5.2) "The land of
Egypt Vienna, where you lived, did not behave" (Lev 11.4).
IV.
"AND THE SEVENTH DAY HE RESTED FROM ALL HIS WORK. And blessed the SEVENTH
DAY and hallowed it" (Genesis 2.3).
V.
"Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother and shall cleave to
his wife" (Gen
2.24). "When I come to thy servant, that he (the father) seeing that no
lad, die" (Genesis 44.30-31).
VI.
"What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood laments to Me from
the ground" (Genesis 4.10).
VII.
"And saw her Judas and tribute her a harlot, because she closed her face"
(Genesis 38.15).
VIII.
"Any of the goats is not speckled and spotted sheep and black, not stolen
it from me" (Genesis 30.15).
IX.
"To what you said, she is my sister?" (Genesis 12.19)
X. "And saw the
wife that the tree was good for food, and that it is pleasing to the eye and desired"
(Genesis 3.6).
LAW
FOR ALL
SIN
is LAWLESSNESS, a violation of his (1 Jn 3.4).
"Sin
is not taken into account where there is no law" (Rom 3.23). Therefore,
wherever there is sin, there is a moral law, binding on all.
As
sin is incriminated to ALL MEN After sin-falling, the LAW is
MANDATORY for all people to this day.
The
law of God existed before the Exodus :
"Because Abraham obeyed my voice, and comply with,
that I have been commanded to observe My commandments, statutes: My and MY LAWS"
(Gen 26.5).
The
law is the same for all Nations, because: "because we have already proven
that both Jews and Greeks, are under sin, as it is written: ' THERE is NONE
RIGHTEOUS, NO..." (Rom 3.9-10).
You
should observe all the commandments, WITHOUT EXCEPTION. "Who keep the whole
law, and yet offend in one something, he is guilty of all" (Jac 2.1).
"All must worship God in the sanctuary on
the same Sabbath day: and the sons of the foreigners who have
joined the Lord, to serve him, and to love the name of the Lord, to be His servants,
EVERY STORE SATURDAY FROM DESECRATION and FIRMLY KEPT MY COVENANT" (Is
56.6).
"I will give them
an EVERLASTING NAME, that is not that shall be destroyed" (v.5).
THE
LAW IN THE NEW TESTAMENT
God's
law immutable.
"DON'T
CHANGE MY TRUTH, WILL NEVER BREAK MY COVENANT, and NOT MOVE - that CAME OUT of
MY MOUTH" (Ps 88.34-35).
People
do not have the right to review it.
"Do
not add to what I command you, and please you; compliance - give the
commandments of the Lord your God which I command " , said Moses in
Deuteronomy.
Christ
confirmed those words (Matthew 6.31-19, Luke 16.17).
The
Apostle Paul said :
"So,
we destroy the law through faith? DOES; but the law CLAIM" (Rom 3.31).
The
Apostle Jacob :
"So
speak and so do, as judged by freedom" (Jac 2.12).
The
Apostle John :
"For
this is the love of God, that we observe his commandments" (1 Jn 4.2).
Who
says: "I KNOW HIM" but DOES NOT FOLLOW HIS COMMANDMENTS, is a LIAR (1
Jn 1.9).
Compliance
with the law is a sign of Holiness :
"Here is the
patience of the Saints, fulfilling the commandments of God and the faith of
Jesus" (Rev 14.12).
SATURDAY
IS ESTABLISHED AT CREATION
Saturday
is established by the creator (Ex 12.9-11).
Everything
created by Christ, and Saturday is installed.
IT
is INSTALLED when the CREATION (Gen 2.2-3).
REST
of the creator in the seventh day of rest during the day made her that Sunday
(as well as the day on which we are born is the day of our birth).
BLESSING
Saturday sets its veneration.
CONSECRATION
of its intended use for the Holy Saturday and KEEP the commandments of the
HOLY.
The
fact that the Lord rested on that day, HAD ALREADY made it Saturday. When the
work was completed, Saturday has become one, until her blessings. Therefore,
every seventh day Sabbath of God on the day of creation (Ex 20.8-11).
The
only reason Saturday's blessing and sanctification is that God rested on that
day, so he blessed her and consecrated when it was all over.
What
Saturday is set by God, not man, is it the title of (Saturday, My Sabbath, the
Son of man is Lord of the Sabbath) and bears his stamp and name.
The
Saturday justified the creation of and belongs to the original ELEMENTARY
TRUTHS that were the consequence of the creation.
It is the expression of
the will of God, and therefore MORAL and eternal establishment!
ONE
SATURDAY FOR ALL PEOPLE
Saturday
is required for human as creation.
Commandment
on Saturday is part of the law and was known to Sinai (Genesis 2.2-3).
She
said that ALL SIX DAYS OF WEEK IS THE
SAME , and the seventh - Saturday - is different from them, and on this day,
people lie and comes before the face of God to worship.
None of the text in the Bible may not be
contrary to the precepts of the Sabbath.
It
had to sanctify and Jews and Gentiles (Isaiah 56.6). And now too.
Observance
of the Sabbath is a symbol of faithfulness to God:
"Also
gave them My Sabbaths, to be a SIGN between me and them, to know that I am the
Lord that SANCTIFY them" (Ezekiel 20.12).
THIS IS A SIGN FOREVER!
THE
TEACHINGS OF CHRIST ABOUT SATURDAY
Christ
taught that God's law is immutable.
Therefore,
the Sabbath commandment and unchangeable.
Christ
taught that "Saturday for man" (Mark 2.27), i.e. for all people.
He
kept the Sabbath in accordance with his upbringing. "And he came to
Nazareth, where he was brought up, and, as usual, into the synagogue on the
Sabbath day, and stood up to read" (Luke 4.16).
He
taught that you can do on Saturday works of charity or good for the sake of
helping others:
"Which
of you, having a sheep if it will fall into the pit on Saturday, he will take
it and lift it out? How many people is better than a sheep? So you can in
Saturday to do good" (Matt 12.11-12).
But
this does not mean that Saturday could be the ordinary working day, or we must
comply with the other day.
Dramatized
this destruction of Jerusalem and of the second flight of Christians (70 AD),
Jesus
taught them to pray to escape no matter what happens on Saturday, knew that the
Christian era it would continue. So after the crucifixion and resurrection of
Christ to his disciples follow on Saturday and prayed about the day of the
flight of 40 years (Matt 24.20).
Christ
commanded to convey His teachings (including the Sabbath), to ALL PEOPLES (Matt
28,19-20).
Conclusion:
there are 3 commands on Saturday :
-
observe the commandment IV (not do hard work)
-
be in communion with God
- It is possible and
necessary to do good
SATURDAY
AFTER THE CROSS
The
day after the crucifixion of Christ in the New Testament, was named SATURDAY :
"After the Sabbath" (Mark 16.1), "on the first day of the
week" (Luke 24.1).
The
Holy wives "on Saturday, were left alone by the COMMANDMENT" (Luke
23.56).
The
first Christians (the Church in Antioch and not only) observe Saturday and on
this day were going to "listen to the word of God" (Acts 13.44).
From
the Cathedral in Jerusalem in 51 AD, learn that addressed Gentiles HAD REGULAR
MEETINGS on Saturdays. "The law of Moses from ancient lineages in all
cities is advocating it and is read in synagogues (houses of prayer) every
Saturday" (Acts 15.21).
The
Apostle Paul carried out the service in Philippi on Saturday: "on the day
of the Sabbath we went outside the city to the River, where, as usual, was a
HOUSE of PRAYER, and the North spoke to assembled there by women" (Acts
16.13).
Church
in Thessaloniki also met on Saturday, Came in Thessaloniki... and Paul...
three Sabbaths reasoned with them from the Scriptures "(Acts 17.1-2).
The
Church at Corinth is also observed Saturday: "after these things Paul left
Athens and went to Corinth. In all
Saturday spoke to them in a synagogue and conviction gave the Jews and Greeks" (Acts 18.1-4).
Because the word of God
calls the seventh day Sabbath after the crucifixion of Christ and the early
Christians observe Saturday, considering it binding, then it is OBLIGATORY also
for current Christians.
