right thing to do. The spirit is to lead or guide us into all truth. John 16: 13. The Lord prayed,
"Sanctify them through thy truth; thy Word is truth." John 17: 17.
Then if we are led by the Spirit, we will be led in harmony with the Word of God, which is truth; and the Word of God testifies that the seventh day is the Sabbath. Then, if we are led by the Spirit, we will be led in harmony with the Word of God, which says "the seventh day is the Sabbath," which is truth; will we not? Does the Word of God say that the first day is the Sabbath? Not as anybody knows of. The spirit that leads us into Sunday keeping guides us from the Word of God, and not into it. Paul says,
"That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit." Rom. 8: 4.
Then the Spirit will lead us to fulfill the righteousness, or obey the righteous demands of the law. Then let us flee from the spirit that would lead us contrary to the law, whether in be in regard to the Sabbath or any other holy requirement of the divine precepts. We had a Bible reading with the little lady yesterday, in which it was demonstrated by the Word of God, which is truth, that the seventh day is the Sabbath, and that there is not a syllable in the Bible that requires Sunday observance; but whether she will go according to the Bible or her heart, time will tell. "He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool, " is the Lord's comment on following our hearts instead of walking in the light of His Word. Prov. 28: 26. We pray the Lord that this good sister may decide wisely in this important matter.
"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do His commandments." Ps. 111: 10.
Friends, let us all have wisdom and a good understanding. |
