How are we to remember the sabath, Christians only please?

Question

God made the Jews prepare two portions of Manna during Moses time, because they werent allowed to do it on Saturday. How are we supposed to remember it today? Should we not cook on Saturday

Answer 1

Christians are no longer under the curse of the law. We find our Sabbath rest in the finished work of Christ Jesus on the cross.

Colossians 2:13 And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, 14 by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross. 15 He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in him. 16 Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath. 17 These are a shadow of the things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ.

Hebrews 4:3 For we who have believed enter that rest, as he has said, "As I swore in my wrath, 'They shall not enter my rest,'" although his works were finished from the foundation of the world. 4 For he has somewhere spoken of the seventh day in this way: "And God rested on the seventh day from all his works." 5 And again in this passage he said, "They shall not enter my rest." 6 Since therefore it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly received the good news failed to enter because of disobedience, 7 again he appoints a certain day, "Today," saying through David so long afterward, in the words already quoted, "Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts." 8 For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken of another day later on. 9 So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God, 10 for whoever has entered God's rest has also rested from his works as God did from his.

Answer 2

Christian are not required to observe days includung Sabbath was required under the law. We are told to forsake not our assembly. Most Christians meet on the First day of the week and usually one other day, usually midweek and study the Bible. If we try to keep any aspect of the law we are doomed because it was impossible for the Hebrew people to keep, which was why Jesus came to relieve us this burden. He said the Law as operated by the priesthood was choking the people. Not a very well put together answer, sorry.

Answer 3

Since there is no evidence in the Scriptures that Christians were commanded to observe a sabbath or that it was kept during the lifetime of the apostles after Pentecost, what position should a Christian take? He can Scripturally take the position that sabbath observance is not a Christian requirement. This is made evident by Paul’s statement at Colossians 2:16, 17: “Let no man judge you in eating and drinking or in respect of a festival or of an observance of the new moon or of a sabbath; for those things are a shadow of the things to come, but the reality belongs to the Christ.”

The law covenant with its observance of new moons and sabbaths, including the seventh-day sabbath, was like a shadow that led to and ended with Christ. As it did not reach into the Christian Era to obligate Christians to keep it, so sabbath observance did not carry over into the Christian Era. That is why sabbath observance is not mentioned by the Christian governing body at Jerusalem as a requirement for non-Jewish Christians, although several other things were mentioned. The record of this is at Acts 15:19, 20. Neither here nor in later instructions to them was any mention made of sabbath observance, which certainly would have been made if it were vital for God’s approval.

The apostle Paul said: “I have not held back from telling you all the counsel of God.” (Acts 20:27) Despite all the counsel and instructions he gave the Christian congregation, he said nothing about sabbath observance as being required of Christians. In his letters to Timothy and Titus he details things that are required of persons appointed to positions of oversight in the Christian congregation, but he makes no mention of sabbath observance. Since he told “all the counsel of God” for Christians but did not mention sabbath observance, we must conclude that God does not require it of Christians.—1 Tim. 3:2-7; Titus 1:7-9.

Jesus’ Jewish followers after Pentecost ceased the observance of days and seasons. So did the Gentiles who left behind pagan religions when they became Christians. They worshiped and served God every day, not just one day a week. For them to observe one day a week as a sabbath would be turning back to the elementary things and becoming enslaved to them, as Paul points out at Galatians 4:9, 10 and 5:1.

Weekly sabbath observance belonged to the nation of Israel and is of the past. Christians are not living in the past but are living for the future when Christ’s 1,000-year reign, which was pictured by the sabbath, will bring rest and peace to obedient mankind. Instead of observing a weekly sabbath, they look forward to this great sabbath rest under the “Lord of the sabbath.”—Matt. 12:8.

Answer 4

Galatians 4:10-11 YOU are scrupulously observing days and months and seasons and years. 11 I fear for YOU, that somehow I have toiled to no purpose respecting YOU.

Christians do not need to observe the weekly Sabbath; rather, they are observing the GREATER SABBATH of God during all of their lives by doing the will of God all the time.

Answer 5

Hi Matt, our Sabbath as Christians is not so complicated,we must refrain from unnecesssary paid labour and keep this day holy by coming together as the body of Christ to worship the Heavenly Father,this holds for all Christian denominations,Catholic and Protestant.

Answer 6

We are to prepare before Sabbath. Preparation of meals for sabbath then freezing them is kewl..also putting togewther salads etc. Anything unnecessary can be done after sabbath or before it. It really is easy. God Bless.

Answer 7

Jesus is our Sabbath. The fourth commandment says that in it, in the Sabbath "thou shalt do no work," meaning, if we do any work to save ourselves we have polluted the work that Jesus did on our behalf. We remember the Sabbath by acknowledging God in all our ways, in loving him with all our hearts, souls, and minds.

Answer 8

we are to take one day in seven to worship God and rest. cooking today is not like it was for them we do not need to clect wood and build a fire. we are forgiven by grace but it is not right to expect one person to provide a big family meal while others do nothing.
