Entering God's Sabbath, What's God's Sabbath? by davidinchrist(m): 5:57pm On May 10, 2020 |
There is no such thing as Sabbath day, Xmas day, Easter day, Holy day, Good day, Bad/Sad day/Etc in the New Covenant. Sabbath day is Old Covenant which has been done away with or fulfilled in Christ: Colossians 2:16 - 17 NLT 16 So don’t let anyone CONDEMN you for what you eat or drink, or for not celebrating CERTAIN Holy days or New moon Ceremonies or SABBATHS. 17 For these rules are only SHADOWS of the REALITY yet to come. And Christ himself IS THAT REALITY. Every other Days like Xmas days and the likes are ALL Traditions of Men: Mark 7:7-8 NLT 7 Their Worship is a farce, for they teach MAN-MADE ideas as commands from God.’ 8 For you IGNORE God’s Law and Substitute your OWN TRADITION.” However, the Sabbath is a symbol of God's REST in the New Covenant: Matthew 11:28-30 KJV Come unto Me, all ye that Labour and are Heavy laden, and I will give you "REST". [29] Take my yoke upon you, and LEARN of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find "REST" unto your souls. [30] For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. The Sabbath/Rest of God means Faith, Holiness, Peace, Joy AND "Security" in Eternal Life of Jesus in general, for those living to do His Will for the rest of their lives. This Sabbath/Rest is NOT meant for One Special day or some days of the week, but ALWAYS OR EVERYDAY, It's living in God's Presence: 1 Thessalonians 5:16 - 18 NLT 16 ALWAYS be Joyful. (not sometimes) 17 Never stop praying. 18 Be THANKFUL in all CIRCUMSTANCES (good or bad), for this is God’s Will for you who BELONG to Christ Jesus. Psalm 118:24 KJV THIS IS THE DAY which the Lord hath made; we will REJOICE and be GLAD in it. Philippians 3:1 KJV Finally, my Brethren, REJOICE in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is SAFE. To have this Rest, one must live by FAITH and be in Obedience to Jesus, not in UNBELIEF and Disobedience like the Israelites: Hebrews 4:1 KJV Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of Entering into His REST, any of you should seem to COME SHORT OF IT. Hebrews 4:11 KJV Let us labour therefore to ENTER into that REST, lest any man FALL after the SAME example of UNBELIEF. Hebrews 4:9 KJV There remaineth therefore a REST to the PEOPLE of God. (See Hebrew 3:7 - 4:11 for details). In conclusion: The Sabbath in the New covenant means a Life of holiness, peace and joy through FAITH in God: without Faith it's impossible to please God. Therefore, we're to REJOICE and Give THANKS to God in EVERYTHING ALWAYS, NOT SOMETIMES because God makes ALL things (good or bad) to work together for good for EVERYONE living to please Him. Romans 8:28 Nevertheless, there is NO room for gloom, fear, anger, depression, worry and the likes for ALL children of God. If we're not ALWAYS Rejoicing and Thankful, it's a mark that we are not in God's Rest yet, or at least not completely. We need to Repent of our UNBELIEF, Doubt and other Sins to enter God's Rest: Romans 8:35,37-39 KJV Who shall SEPARATE US from the love of Christ? SHALL tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or unclothedness, or peril, or sword? [37] Nay, in all these things we are MORE than Conquerors through HIM that loved us. [38] For I am persuaded, that neither DEATH, nor LIFE, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come... ...shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. May Jesus Bless You. |

davidinchrist:bro, dont get it twisted please. All principles of YAH, the Shabbat included is eternal. The thing is, a principle and/or law is only made redundant, is only made inactive, is only made to look powerless or appear useless, when a superior, stronger, more powerful, higher and better law is involved, engaged, operated or introduced. Shabbat, in a simple explanation, basically means rest. We are grown now. We have developed spiritually enough and have come off age to receive grace enough to realise when Shabbat should be. Look around, YAH, has left reminders in nature, concerning the necessity of Shabbat and that's in respect of animals hibernating (i.e. taking time out to rest) |

MuttleyLaff: Hmm. Did you see Colossians 2:16-17? Anyway, I don't argue. However, I prefer the New Covenant life in Jesus TO that of the Law in Moses (which has been fulfilled in the Reality of Christ). Please feel free to see this post, "IF" you so wish: https://www.nairaland.com/5844877/still-under-law-old-covenant 20 “But I warn you—unless your righteousness is better than the righteousness of the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees, you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven!

Exactly right: In Him by Faith and Obedience, though. May Jesus Bless You. Colossians 2:16-17 KJV Let NO man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the SABBATH DAYS : [17] Which are a SHADOW of things to come; BUT the body is of Christ. 1 Like |

davidinchrist: davidinchrist:I know Colossians 2:16-17, and Colossians 2:16-17 agrees with exactly all what I have explained in my post. If you had took time to carefully and thoughtfully read my post, you would have seen that it agrees totally with Colossians 2:16-17. Of course with Yahushua Ha Mashsiach aka Jesus, we have Sabbat. Now besides Yahushua being the Lord of Sabbat, the Owner of Sabbat, He is our Sabbath, it doesnt mean "there is no such thing as Sabbath day" anymore as you claimed in your intro original post. Even saying "Sabbath day is Old Covenant which has been done away with" These are contradictions, on your part you dont want to face up to. Why not try working flat out, taking no break, taking no rest, no sabbath, because you want to believe that Jesus is our Rest, lmao. Have you ever flown in an airplane, taking a flight to Abuja, Kano or Port Harcourt? How are remaining in the air without falling out of the sky. Is it because, there is no more any law of gravity? Is it because there is no more really any such thing as the law of gravity, hmm? davidinchrist:Try and argue nah. If you do, you'll only be arguing with yourself and the bible. I have said my own, if you go like to pick axe hang for head. I'll say the undiluted truth, if you like take it if not do as you please davidinchrist:Isnt that being following, applying, introducing, taking advantage of a NEW, superior, stronger, more powerful, higher and better law, hmm? davidinchrist:I can see that you're more confused that a goat lost from wandering on to an astro turf. Smh davidinchrist:[img]https://s3/images/ObamaMuttley.gif[/img] What is this one saying? davidinchrist:May Yahushua Ha Mashsiach bless you double portion. |

davidinchrist:We Christians haven't really understood the place of the law and until we give it it's rightful place, the ultimate plan of God will elude us. As Muttleylaff rightly said, the statutes of God are eternal. Not a single iota of the Torah will pass away until all are fulfilled in Christ(Mt5:18). We should aim to fulfill the Sabbath now through faith in Christ. Just as Paul points out, there is a Sabbath ahead for every believer to labour to enter after their initial faith(Heb4:1, 9-11). What is the Sabbath? It is the rest we come to where we no longer work but God does all the work in us as seen in the Lord Jesus(Jn14:10). It is experiencing this same oneness He had with the Father where EVERYTHING in our lives springs out from His work within(Jn17:21) We labour to enter it by seeking God daily, surrendering everything to Him, growing in prayer until He perfects this work in us and we no longer do these but He does all. Let no one be deceived, we can never enter into this rest until we have truly surrendered our entirety to God. 2 Likes |

Finallydead: Muttleylaff: ... Mark 2:23-27, contextually, even shows how our Lord and Saviour of the whole wide world, Jesus Christ, explains, that God did not have the Sabbath and then man to serve this day. That, the Sabbath, actually and/or in the first place, was made to serve man and to be for his/her benefit, as well, as being. Our bodies are not concrete, cement nor wood. We need to rest, so to regain expended strength and power so to manage and/or maintain our health, well-being and wellness. The other truth of the whole Sabbath matter, is that God didnt necessarily have to rest, but He, leading by example, did. He acted in this way, to show us how to act.Finallydead thank you for your able and knowleageable input. May God continue to bless you with more understanding 1 Like |

MuttleyLaff Finallydead Okay friends, I've heard you. Although, I strongly disagree with you two on one thing or the other. Anyway, I don't think it's the letter of the message (knowledge) that really matters, but the Spirit (the LOVE and OBEDIENCE TO JESUS). THAT'S THE MAIN THING. No problem, even if you don't agree with anything at all. I judge no one, and I don't seek to justify myself either. Thanks. Good bye. |

Gal.4.4 - But when the FULLNESS of the time had come, God SENT FORTH His Son, born of a woman, born UNDER THE LAW, Gal.4.5 - to REDEEM those who were UNDER THE LAW, that we might RECEIVE the adoption as sons. Gal.4.10 - You OBSERVE Days and Months and Seasons and Years. Gal.4.11 - I am AFRAID for you, lest I have LABORED for you in VAIN. Gal.4.16 - Have I therefore BECOME YOUR ENEMY because I tell you the truth? |

The 6,000 years of evil will soon come to an end and our Master, Lord and King (Christ Jesus) will come with the Sabbath "1,000 years of his reign" when Satan and all his agents both spirit (demons) and false prophets will not be able to mislead people anymore! Revelations 20:1-3 That's the import of the Sabbath God instituted in the old covenant, mankind must bear the consequences of Adam's rebellion for six days (6,000 years) and only obedient descendants of Adam will enter God's rest on the Sabbath day (1,000 years) Psalms 9:11; Hebrew 3:11 Remember that 1,000 years of man's life is like one day to God! 2Peter 3:8 So Christians don't need to live by the old law covenant because we now understood fully what it means! ![]() |
