No Command, no Obligation.
By S. Elmer
We read, “This is the love of God that we keep his commandments.” Does it look rational that the Lord will hold us accountable for not regarding a day he has given no command whatever for observing. If one should be brought in the great and final day of account, to answer to the charge of violating the first day, might it not be justly said, Lord, why was there no command in the Bible that I might have known your will concerning it? But his will is made plain as it regards the seventh day. Truly it could be no plainer. And what shall we answer if we disregard it, in that day when every mouth is stopped, and all confess the justness of the great Lawgiver. It is high time, while so much light is shining, to see to it that we strictly adhere to all the requirements of God’s word, being justified by his Son, and thus prepare to enter into the joy of our Lord.
