"Why Do You Keep the Seventh-Day Sabbath?"

By Editor

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 that he abideth in Him ought himself also so to walk, even as He walked." 1 John 2:6.
Are not these two reasons sufficient for observing the day? Are they not consistent Christian reasons?
