Re: Why Sunday

Brother Blume asked: Getting what the natural tried to achieve, is what the Law of the Spirit of Life achieves in us! Why can't people see this?

We can see this. Here again:

Romans 8:2 KJV
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

The law of the Spirit freed Paul from what? The law of sin (Sabbath breaking included) and death (penalty for breaking God's commandments). The Holy Ghost will set you free from your Sabbath breaking, brother.

Romans 8:3-4 KJV
For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: [4] That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Jesus died so we could STOP SINNING. The law (whether you understand that mean the old covenant, or the commands of God themselves) cannot cause you you to fulfill righteousness. It cannot produce obedience. It can only show us what obedience looks like, what disobedience looks like, and provide penalties for disobedience. It cannot make anyone love God and their neighbor. But Jesus can, through the power of the cross. His death works in us to become NEW people who lovingly obey our Father.

That includes the 4th commandment just as surely as it does the other ten.

Romans 8:5-8 KJV
For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. [6] For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. [7] Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. [8] So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

Those who are carnally minded, who walk according to the flesh, who mind the things of the flesh, are those who will not submit to the law of God. They are at odds with God, at odds with His commandments, His ways, His revealed will. They will not submit to His law, they can't. Because they are still bound by sin:

Romans 6:5-7 KJV
For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: [6] Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him , that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. [7] For he that is dead is freed from sin.

If you have been baptised into Christ's death, then by faith you have been freed from transgressing His commandments (sin is transgression of the law). We must reckon ourselves DEAD TO SIN, including Sabbath breaking:

Romans 6:11 KJV
Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Dead to sin doesn't mean free to continue sinning:

Romans 6:12-18 KJV
Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. [13] Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. [14] For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. [15] What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. [16] Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? [17] But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. [18] Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.
