The seventh-day Sabbath is arguably the most misunderstood and disliked commandment among all the laws of God. And every excuse has been invented by men to avoid keeping it. It has been dismissed as \u2018nailed to the cross\u2019, as a yoke, and as an old Jewish relic of no relevance in the modern world.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>In the face of man\u2019s gross disdain for the Sabbath, however, God positively affirms it throughout scripture. He calls it \u201cMy holy day\u201d and promises great rewards to those who observe it with delight and respect (Isa. 58:13-14). By it, He sets apart His chosen ones by a perpetual covenant where the Sabbath is \u201ca sign\u201d between God and His people \u201cforever\u201d (Ex. 31:13, 16-17; Ez. 20:12).<\/p>\n<p>But above all, God affirms the Sabbath as required to be kept up to the very time of the end when His salvation will be \u201crevealed in the last time\u201d (1 Pet. 1:5). This is the thrust of the Divine prophetic message communicated through the prophet Isaiah in Isa. 56: \u2018Observe My Sabbath along with righteousness and justice when My salvation is near to come and My righteousness to be revealed\u2019 (v. 1).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.asdpagh.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Sermons_The_Ultimate_Big_Reason_to_Keep_the_Sabbath.pdf\" class=\"mtli_attachment mtli_pdf\" data-mtli=\"mtli_filesize39004kB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Download the Full teachings here<\/a>.
