Does works save us? No. faith saves us. How do we show faith? By our obedience to Gods Word. The Sabbath is commanded in the Ten Commandments. Note: Not the Ten Suggestions modern Churchs would have you believe. The Sabbath is a memorial for Gods Creation. Adam kept it. Moses kept it. Jesus kept it. but GardenerForLife doesn't want to keep it? Why? Because the world doesn't keep it? The world also lies, murders and takes Gods Name in vain. That's not a very good reason from Gods viewpoint. And we should always look at it from Gods viewpoint.
Grace saves us through the sacrifice of our Lord and God, Jesus the Christ.
Neither faith nor works saves us per se, but grace saves us.
Matthew 10.21 the one who stands firm to the end will be saved
Acts 2:21
And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved
1 Peter 3:21
and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also—not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ
Luke 13:3
I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish
John 6:47
Very truly I tell you, the one who believes has eternal life.
John 6:54
Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day
Faith, works, repentance, eating of his body, enduring to the end justifies one of the grace that saves one. It’s not either or, itself.
Faith without works is dead, works without faith can’t save you. Pure repentance without belief doesn’t merit you eternal life. Nothing dies except grace.
“Adam kept szbbath”. What proof do you have of that?
Christians observe the Lord’s day to keep holy the day our Lord Jesus Christ rose from the dead. For us, this day, Domenica, marks the day of the new creation, when Christ conquered sin, darkness, and death, the day of the new covenant when Christ, the High Priest who had offered Himself as the Unblemished Passover Lamb of Sacrifice on the altar of the cross, gave the promise of everlasting life.
Therefore, Domenica is the fulfillment of the Sabbath of the Old Testament. St. Justin Martyr (d. 165) wrote, “Sunday, indeed, is the day on which we hold our common assembly because it is the first day on which God, transforming the darkness and matter, created the world; and our Savior, Jesus Christ, arose from the dead on the same day.”
Through his death and resurrection, Jesus fulfilled the Old Covenant and instituted the New Covenant – complete with a new priesthood (himself), a new sacrifice (his death on the cross), a “new” law of Grace , and a new day to worship – the day he completed this New Covenant by rising from the dead – Sunday.
Hebrews 7:11-25 records this covenant change clearly: “When there is a change of priesthood (Old Testament priesthood to Jesus), there is necessarily a change of law as well … a former commandment is annulled … (and) a better hope is introduced.”
in Revelation 1:10, St John is “caught up in spirit on the Lord’s day” to be shown the heavenly worship going on. In Acts 20:7, St. Paul and others gather “On the first day of the week … to break bread,” a term used to signify the celebration of the Eucharist (cf Lk 22:19, Mt 26:26). St Paul also asked for collections to be taken when churches gathered “on the first day of the week” (1 Cor 16:2).
Significantly, Jesus’ Emmaus road appearance also takes place “on the first day of the week,” but his disciples don’t recognize him until the breaking of the bread: “he took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them. With that … they recognized him” (Lk 24:13-31).
Jesus’ first resurrection appearances to his disciples are on the “first day of the week.” And the great outpouring of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost? On Domenica
