Sabbath Day

Why does the Church of God keep services on Saturday?

Sister, God bless you on the Sabbath day! You’ve come early. We still have much time before the service. I heard I’d better come earlier than the service time to keep it with a godly mind. I’m a sleepyhead, so getting up this morning was a struggle for me. I’m happy to see you make efforts to do as you’ve learned! But you know what? Some people say it’s weird when I tell them I go to church on Saturday. Tilting their heads, they ask me, “Isn’t Sunday the day of worship?” They did? Yes.

The Sabbath and God’s Salvation

We will discover many precious things if we take a moment and look around us. However, because they are always next to us, we often disregard and take them for granted. Likewise, we may neglect the precious truth of the Sabbath because we have grown accustomed to keeping it. When God created all things in the beginning, He worked for six days, rested on the seventh day, and made it holy. God proclaimed the Ten Commandments 3,500 years ago and wrote on the stone tablets, “Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.” Since God inscribed this command with His own hand, there is no doubt that the Sabbath is essential for our salvation. Even though the Sabbath is very…

The Meaning of the Sabbath

Until a ceramic ware is completed, it requires many processes such as molding a figure out of clay, baking it, putting glaze on it, placing it in a kiln, and so on. In the same way, until a life is born, it takes a process of being created in the womb for nine months. The process of effort is required to complete something in this visible, physical world. Likewise, in the spiritual world, God continues to work to make us perfect. Every Sabbath day, God blesses us and gives us new strength so that we may not be lacking in anything as citizens of heaven. Thinking of the love of God, let's remind ourselves of the meaning and significance of…
