Christians and the Sabbath

We reject that the observance of Sunday is a matter of duty. [Although the “first day” is commonly used for remembrance of the Christ-covenant, there is no obligation to limit such observance to a Sunday. It is a matter of “as oft as we do so,” whatever the day — 1Cor. 11:In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.’.]



. Sabbath day not binding on Christians



Law abolished on basis of Jesus’ death.



Eph 2:15 By means of his flesh he abolished the hostility, the Law of commandments consisting in decrees, that he might create the two peoples in himself into one new man and make peace;



Sabbath not binding on Christians.



Col 2:16 Therefore let no man judge YOU in eating and drinking or in respect of a festival or of an observance of the new moon or of a sabbath; 17 for those things are a shadow of the things to come, but the reality belongs to the Christ;



Reproved for observing Sabbath, etc.



Ga 4:10 YOU are scrupulously observing days and months and seasons and years. 11 I fear for YOU, that somehow I have toiled to no purpose respecting YOU.;



Ro 10:2 For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God; but not according to accurate knowledge; 3 for, because of not knowing the righteousness of God but seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God. 4 For Christ is the end of the Law, so that everyone exercising faith may have righteousness.



Enter God’s rest by faith and obedience.  Heb 4:9-11
