Question 🤔: I do believe he gives us rest but no scripture says that our Sabbath rest is JESUS/YAHUSHA HAMASIAC OUR final rest. Sabbath will be with him but here on this earth we are to follow his commandments, he tells you plainly if u love me follow my commandments. The sabbath is the 4th commandment and it's every Saturday the 7th day I know. I'm saved by my faith and his grace. I'm just filthy rags to him a sinful man who doesn't deserve his grace, but I'm thankful I have it. I'm not saying u have to work, I'm saying u have to obey that's the difference. I believe in him and his grace and I know why I'm saved, but were called to be set apart that day. Was made holy when we keep his commandments on Saturday, if you are keeping it on Sunday, your breaking his commandments. By not honoring it, people get Paul's writings twisted, he never said the law was gone he said the curse of the law is gone. Romans 3:31, do we then nullify the law through faith? By all means no we establish the law. Plain as a day we understand what happened and what your reading is, we are to believe and be obedient in that order. Stay blessed!
Answer: Greetings to you in Jesus wonderful name!
The primary verse defining Jesus as our Sabbath rest is Hebrews 4:9-10, which states, "There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works, just as God did from his". Another key verse is Matthew 11:28, where Jesus says, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest".
KEY ASPECTS OF JESUS AS OUR SABBATH REST:
REST FROM WORKS: Rather than observing a single day, believers find spiritual rest by ceasing their own efforts to earn salvation, relying instead on Jesus' finished work.
LORD OF THE SABBATH: Jesus declared himself "Lord of the Sabbath" (Matthew 12:8), indicating authority over the law and that the Sabbath was made to serve man, not vice versa.
CONTEXT IN HEBREWS: Hebrews 4 explains that just as Joshua did not give the ultimate rest, Jesus provides a deeper, spiritual rest that is available to all who believe.
These verses highlight that the Old Testament Sabbath was a foreshadowing and a typological rest found in Christ.
Simple, what does Sabbath means?, it means Rest, Jesus saying I am the Lord of Sabbath means, the one who embodies Sabbath is I am, there is no rest without that I am, or coming to that I am. Thus he invites all believers to come to Him to experience the Sabbath and not just think that it is a day physically to experience apart from Jesus. That is true Christianity, going to Jesus and finding rest in our day to day lives.
But the Lord's day is not a Constantine construct after 300 A D, but right from the Book of Acts, we see it repeated, in the first century itself among the apostles of the Lord Jesus.
The primary Bible verse referencing "the Lord’s Day" is Revelation 1:10 (ESV): "I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet." This term refers to Sunday, the first day of the week, celebrated by Christians as the day of Jesus’ resurrection, also supported by Acts 20:7 and 1 Corinthians 16:2.
As a Seventh day Adventists CULTIST, you have subscribed to the Saturday Dogma, for those who are truly Saved will not try to keep the law of the letter, but the Law of the Spirit.
I would suggest you to read, Rom 4:4 to understand, "4 Now to him who works, the wages are not counted as grace but as debt. 5 But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness." (Romans 4:4-5). It mean those who try to get Saved by works after salvation, get disqualified of their reward, even though God by his grace never lets them to continue in ignorance further to hell fire, but will definitely chastise his own to realign them in the right way of grace through faith to be rewarded.
The Lord's Day marks the day of resurrection, often viewed as the "eighth day" or a new creation. Early Christians, as noted in the Didache, gathered on this day for worship, communion, and thanksgiving. It is distinct from the Jewish Sabbath (Saturday), though it replaced it as the primary day of Christian assembly later.
Faith establishes the law of God, but not according to the letter as you think, but law according to the Spirit, who has written it in our hearts spiritually, which we fulfill it through resultant law of love to be expressed towards others and be rewarded by God for it eternally.
Scripture reports that the New Testament church gathered to worship on Sunday (Acts 20:7; 1 Cor. 16:2; Rev. 1:10). But Scripture doesn’t use the word Sunday, a name associated with sun worship. Instead, the early church spoke of Sunday as the first day of the week, or the first day from the Sabbath.
Jews marked time “from sunset to sunset.” Therefore, while we might assume that churches meeting on the Lord’s Day met on Sunday morning, Acts 20:7 indicates Christ’s disciples met at night “on the first day of the week”—remember poor Eutychus falling asleep late at night and falling out the window! Under the Jewish calendar churches gathered on Saturday night, not Sunday.
Thus the significance of Sunday for Christians are,
1) The Lord's Resurrection Day. 2) It is the eighth day of spiritual circumcision and new creation (2 Cor 5:17). 3) THE EIGHTH DAY REPRESENTS THE ETERNAL REST AND JOY OUT OF THIS PRESENT WORLD, THUS JESUS SITTING AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD, INTERCEDING FOR US BEFORE THE FATHER AND THE HOLY SPIRIT INTERCEDING THROUGH US OVERCOMING OUR WEAKNESSES, CLOSES THE ETERNAL LOOP AND PREPARES US IN TRAINING AND REFINING FOR THE REIGN IN THE NEW HEAVEN AND NEW EARTH, AND THUS BE A PART OF OUR ETERNAL CAPITAL OF OUR LIFE OF WORSHIP TOWARDS GOD IN REST AND REFRESHING NOW AND FOREVERMORE! HALLELUJAH! Glory to God!
Much Blessings.....👍🏽🙏🏽
