The Sabbath Question and Faith
THE whole Sabbath question centers around the simple question of faith in God's word. The record of the institution of the Sabbath is plain; the commandment is plain; the words of Christ that the law cannot be changed in one jot or tittle are plain; the evidence is clear that Christ himself gave the Sabbath and honored it by calling himself its Lord. All these facts are expressly revealed in God's word. Jesus kept the Sabbath, and he says: "Follow me;" "If ye love me, keep my commandments;" "Blessed are they that do His [the Father's] commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and enter in through the gates into the city;" "I and my Father are one." And the Father says, "Hear ye Him." It matters not that good men have kept the Sunday; the question of faith is, "What does God say?"
