Sabbath Obedience and God's Commandment

By Editor

Last week we closed the series of "Fifty Reasons for Sabbath Observance." They were all good reasons, and might have been extended to another fifty; but after all is said that can be said in support of the seventh-day Sabbath, there is one reason that comprises all others, namely, it is the commandment of God. It is conviction on this point that must bring about faithful and lasting obedience. "Fear God, and keep His commandments; for this is the whole duty of man." Eccl. 12:13. To observe any other Sabbath than that appointed by the Lord, is to set the traditions of men before the Word of God. That is where the typical Israel failed. Mark 7:6-9. The true Israel (Phil. 3:3) will "obey God rather than men." Acts 5:29.
