The Unchangeable God

By Editor

The Unchangeable God.—We receive frequently papers containing articles against the Seventh-day Sabbath. The arguments are usually old and badly frayed, and have been answered many times. They are oftentimes found in papers of limited circulation, whose readers we could scarcely hope to reach. Often, put together, they are like the “cats of Kilkenny,” self-devouring. One holds that Sunday is the Sabbath of the Bible, another that there is no law for any sabbath, another that a seventh part of time is all that is necessary, and so on and so forth. Let our readers settle on these two great facts: first, that the eternal, unchangeable God has made the seventh-day Sabbath precept a part of the immutable law, spoken and written by Him (Ex. 20:1–17; Matt. 5:17–20; Ps. 111:7, 8; Mal. 3:6); secondly, Jesus our Lord, the Sinless One, the perfect Example, observed that day (Luke 4:16, 31; John 15:10; 1 John 2:6). What more does the Christian need? The gospel is itself given to bring man back to harmony with God and to obedience to His law. The gospel which these men proclaim, brings men to confusion, and leaves them—generally ignorant of it—in transgression.
