Why Not Reject These?

The Sabbath of Jehovah is rejected by some as Jewish. Says the Gospel Trumpet: "The Seventh-day Sabbath was for the Jews only, a sign between God and that nation throughout their generations."

But why not reject God; he is said to be the Lord God of Israel (Josh. 14:14), the Lord God of the Hebrews (Ex. 10:3). Why not reject Jesus Christ; he was a Jew, of the tribe of Judah. Why not reject the salvation which is in Christ, for he himself says, "Salvation is of the Jews." John 4: 22. The simple fact is that God offers salvation to none except those who become Israel (who prevail with God) by faith. The Sabbath of the Lord God of Israel is a sign of his mighty power to save and keep them. But, brethren, why not reject all with the Sabbath? All are of the same nature.
