Romans 14:1 Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.
Romans 14:2 For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.
Romans 14:3 Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.
Romans 14:4 Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.
Romans 14:5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
Romans 14:6 He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.
Romans 14:7 For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.
Romans 14:8 For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.
Romans 14:9 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.
Romans 14:10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
Romans 14:11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
Romans 14:12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
Romans 14:13 Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.
Romans 14:14 I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
Romans 14:15 But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.
Romans 14:16 Let not then your good be evil spoken of:
Romans 14:17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
Romans 14:18 For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.
Romans 14:19 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.
Romans 14:20 For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.
Romans 14:21 It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.
Romans 14:22 Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.
Romans 14:23 And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.
Whatsoever is not of faith is sin.
That is the deeper understanding of what sin is.
Can any sabbath be kept, any law fulfilled, any work done, or blessing received, or grace administered, that doesn’t rest on faith?
When we stand before Christ what is our stance before him?
Is there going to be an accuser not yet cast down, off to the side saying, this man broke the sabbath ordinance and must be condemned under the law?
The accuser was cast down and thrown out of heaven because of the blood of Jesus.
Why do you think God required Jesus to heal on the sabbath?
Didn’t the religious leaders sitting in the chair of Moses forget something?
How could they sound so righteous but be proven evil.
Yet, Jesus had faith to heal on the sabbath.
See how God forced the misunderstanding of sabbath to be exposed.
Why did God heal on the sabbath day?
Do you think that God rests one day a week in heaven?
Do you think he rests once a week on earth?
Why did Jesus rise from the dead on the eighth day?
In the day of the New Heaven and New Earth, where is the sabbath found?
A weekly sabbath day was made by God to teach man to rest in God.
And we must come to Jesus to find rest.
Do you think that you should rest in Jesus forever? Or, should you rest in him on the seventh day only?
My faith is in Jesus. And Jesus taught me to abide in him. That if I abide in him then I will bear fruit.
Abiding in Christ by faith is the true and eternal sabbath, the eighth day. The day of the firstborn of a new generation, of a new heaven and a new earth, of a new man.
The rest of God is eternal.
In God’s rest all his works were accomplished from the foundation of the world.
