A SHORT SERMON FROM THE BOOK OF GOD.
“Not every one that saith unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of My Father which is in heaven.” Matt. 5:21. “I am the Lord your God; ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy.” Lev. 11:44. “This is the will of God, even your sanctification.” 1 Thess. 4:3. The Sign of Sanctification.
“I gave them My Sabbaths to be a sign between Me and them, that they might know that I am the Lord that sanctify them.” Eze. 20:12. Which Day Is the Sabbath?
“The seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God.” Ex. 20:10. The Eternal Sabbath Command.
“Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy.” Ex. 20:8. The Eternal Sabbath Promise.
“If thou turn away thy foot from the Sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on My holy day; and call the Sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord, honorable; and shalt honor Him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words; then shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father; for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.” Isa. 58:13, 14. “Thus saith the Lord, keep ye judgment, and do justice; for My salvation is near to come, and My righteousness to be revealed. Blessed is he that doeth this, and the son of man that layeth hold on it; that keepeth the Sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil.” Isa. 56:1, 2.
