“Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power: _for Thou
hast created all things_, and for Thy pleasure they are and were
_created_.” Rev. 4:11.
13. How often will they congregate to worship the Lord?
“For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain
before Me, saith the Lord, so shall your seed and your name remain. And it
shall come to pass, that _from one new moon to another_, and _from one
Sabbath to another_, shall all flesh come to worship before Me, saith the
Lord.” Isa. 66:22, 23.
NOTE.—The Sabbath, which is the memorial of God’s creative power,
will never cease to exist. When this sinful state of things shall
give way to the sinless new earth, the fact upon which the Sabbath
institution is based will still remain; and those who shall be
permitted to live in the new earth will still commemorate the
creative power of God, while singing the song of Moses and the
Lamb. Rev. 15:3. See Rev. 22:1, 2.
Reasons For Sabbath-Keeping
[Illustration.]
Mt. Sinai--Where The Law Was Given. "That ye may know that I am the Lord
your God." Eze. 20:20.
1. What is the one great feature by which the true God is distinguished
from all false gods?
“The Lord is the true God, He is the living God, and an everlasting
king.... _The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth_, even
they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens. _He hath
made the earth by his power_, He hath established the world by His wisdom,
and hath stretched out the heavens by His discretion.” Jer. 10:10-12.
2. When Paul wished to preach the true God to the idolatrous Athenians,
how did he describe Him?
“Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, Him declare I unto you. _God that
made the world and all things therein._” Acts 17:23, 24.
3. What did the apostles say to the idolaters at Lystra?
“We ... preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities unto _the
living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that
are therein_.” Acts 14:15. See also Rev. 10:6; 14:6, 7.
4. What reason is given in the fourth commandment for keeping the Sabbath
day holy?
“For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in
them is, and rested the seventh day.” Ex. 20:11.
NOTES.—The Sabbath is the great memorial of creation and of God’s
creative power, a constant reminder of the true and living God.
God’s design in making the Sabbath, and in commanding that it be
kept holy, was that man might never forget Him, the Creator of all
things.
“The original Sabbath being a perpetual memorial of God, the
Creator calling man to imitate God in the observance of the same,
man could not keep the original Sabbath and forget God.”—_Prof. E.
W. Thomas, M. A., in Herald of Gospel Liberty, June 19, 1890._
