A FEW QUESTIONS FOR SUNDAY-KEEPERS.
By A. Carter
At the creation God instituted the Sabbath, by blessing and sanctifying the seventh day. Four thousand years later the seventh day of the week was recognized by the Jews as the Sabbath of the Lord, and they still recognize it after all these centuries. The fourth commandment reads, "The seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God." That statement was quite true in the time of Christ; but if the first day is the Sabbath now, why was not the law amended immediately after the resurrection to meet the change of day? Let every honest Sunday-keeper squarely face these questions, and answer them as before the Lord, whom we must all see before long: Does Jehovah's unamended law now contain a lie? Could the above quotation from the fourth commandment be true at the date of the crucifixion and untrue after the resurrection of Christ? Do I really believe that my infallible Creator ever framed a law which in process of time would require amending? The eternal destiny of human souls hangs in the balance. To be convicted of sin and yet continue therein to the end means eternal death. O, let each of us make a full surrender to Him who died for us, and so gain life everlasting! A. CARTER.
