Colossians
2:16-17 Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with
regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. 17
These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is
found in Christ.
Romans
14:4-6 Who are you to judge someone else’s servant? To their own master, servants
stand or fall. And they will stand, for the Lord is able to make them stand. 5
One person considers one day more sacred than another; another considers every
day alike. Each of them should be fully convinced in their own mind. 6 Whoever
regards one day as special does so to the Lord.
Galatians
2:16 know that a person is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith
in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be
justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the
works of the law no one will be justified.

A day of rest is a blessing to our soul.
Psalm
46:10 He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the
nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”

Were the Children of Israel less valuable to God
on the Sabbath day because they weren’t “doing”?
Matthew
3:16-17 As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment
heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and
alighting on him. 17 And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I
love; with him I am well pleased.”
