“He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him” (1 John 2:4).
Do you think that verse really means what it says? I do.
Those who teach that it is not necessary to keep the Commandments of God, ALL OF THEM, including the 4th Commandment, the Bible calls LIARS.
Some Christians go so far as to say that the Commandments were nailed to the Cross when Jesus died and it's not necessary to keep them today. They are LIARS.
Some Christians say that the 4th Commandment ~ "Remember the Sabbath day (the 7th day, Saturday) to keep it holy..." no longer means we should worship on the 7th day Saturday, but rather on the first day, Sunday. That too, is a LIE, even though many who promote that don't realize they are promoting a LIE.
God speaks in clear language on this. There is no reason to misunderstand what He is saying. Yes, it will put you out of step with the world, it will put you in the MINORITY, it may be inconvenient, you might have to find a new job, your family and friends might think you are radical and fanatical. All of those things and more could happen if you decide to be brave and follow God, and be obedient to Him. But it will be SO WORTH IT! You will have PEACE, knowing you are WALKING IN THE LIGHT, knowing that God doesn't ask you to do something you cannot do. Your conscience won't prick you anymore and you won't feel guilty for not obeying the God you claim to serve.
Many people want the CROWN Jesus offers, but few are willing to carry the CROSS. Obeying the 4th Commandment may seem like a heavy CROSS, but Jesus has promised to help you carry it ~ He tells us in Matthew 11:30 ~ "For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”
TODAY is FRIDAY, the 6th Day. The Bible calls it the PREPARATION DAY. It's the day we are called to PREPARE for the Sabbath. Our cleaning, our cooking and all our work is to be done today so that TOMORROW, SATURDAY, the SABBATH, we have no unnecessary work to do. The Sabbath should be spent in fellowship with like-believers, studying God's Word, and in Nature, His second Book.
I know for many, this sounds so strange, almost like another language. But Jesus says, "TASTE and SEE that the LORD is GOOD." Following Him will bring REAL PEACE & HAPPINESS to your life.
