“Why Do You Keep the Seventh-Day Sabbath?”—

This is a question often asked the Sabbath-keeper. One answer is, and it seems to us that it ought to be sufficient. God commands it: “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. . . . The seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God.” (See Ex. 20: 8–11.) This commandment is repeated and its obligation enjoined elsewhere many times in the word of God. A second reason, equally forcible and undeniable, might be given, namely, Jesus Christ, our Lord and Master, kept it; and “he that saith he abideth in Him ought himself also so to walk, even as He walked.” 1 John 2:6. Are not these sufficient reasons for observing the day? Are they not consistent Christian reasons?
