(faith in god)The law had to be in existence before sin or there would have been no sin. “What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.” Rom. 7:7 (KJV).
Sin is define by law. The formal giving of the law at Sinai was a reiteration of the great principles established from eternity. Two great spiritual truth are involved in the keeping of the law: 1. We are not saved by law keeping, but by God’s grace, and 2. Those who have been saved are those who receive the law and by God’s grace, obey it. “If ye love me, keep my commandments.” John 14:15 (KJV).
And “The LORD made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day. Deut. 5:3 (KJV).” During the Christians dispensation , The great enemy of man’s happiness has made the Sabbath of the fourth commandment’ an object of special attack” Satan says,
“ I will work cross purpose with God. I will empower my followers to set aside God’s memorial the seventh day Sabbath. Thus I will show the world that the day sanctified and blessed by God has been changed. That day shall not live in the minds of the people. I will obliterate the memory of it. I will place in its stead a day that does not ear the credentials of God, a day that cannot be sign between God and His people. I will lead those who accept this day to place upon it the sanctity that God placed on the seventh day…
Human laws will e made so stringent that men and women will not dare to observe the seventh day Sabbath. For fear of wanting food and clothing, they will join with the world in transgressing God’s law. The earth will be wholly under my (Satan’s) dominion. “prophets and kings 1917, pages 183, 184. To secure popularity and patronage, legislators will yield to the demand for a Sunday law, 5T451 And on May 29 1961, the supreme court of the United States, by a majority vote handed down a decision of historic importance, particularly from the prophetic point of view. It declared that Sunday laws are civil, not religious, in nature, and therefore are constitutional.
God says “My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips. Psalms 89:34 (KJV). But let us look at these amazing facts. Convert’s Catechism of Catholic Doctrine, 1977, page 50 “QUESTION: Why do we observe Sunday instead of Saturday? ANSWER: We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because the catholic church in the council of Laodicia , A.D.336, transferred the solemnity from Saturday to Sunday. Catholic mirror, September 23, 1893. “The catholic by virtue of her divine mission, changed the day from Saturday to Sunday.” (faith-word)
