The Sabbath as a Badge of Loyalty

The Sabbath question is not a mere matter of two different days of like hours of darkness and light; it is a question of loyalty to God. It stands in His Word as a memorial of His creative power, and therefore a sign of His power to sanctify and redeem. The day of the Sabbath therefore stands unalterably against the theory of human origin or salvation by evolution. That day of the Sabbath is revealed clearly and enjoined strongly in God's Word, and therefore it is unalterably opposed to any sabbath of tradition. To him who sees this, the observance of the Sabbath is a badge of loyalty to God as his Creator, to Jesus Christ as his re-creator and Sanctifier.
