We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

The Sabbath itself is not eternal, but was a sign of the Mosaic covenant. Exodus 31:13-17 designates the day as a “sign between Me and you throughout your generations.” As such, it is given to a specific people for a specific time to remind them of a specific covenant – the Mosaic one. When that covenant is replaced with a new one, the sign that pointed to it – the Sabbath – no longer applies. True, the “sign” is said to be “forever,” but…“forever” does not necessarily mean “eternal,” but forever until fulfilled. For example, various other elements of the Mosaic law were spoken of as permanent – including the administration of the tabernacle, animals sacrifices, and the priesthood. All these were fulfilled in Christ.

One day George Mueller began praying for five of his friends. After many months, one of them came to the Lord. Ten years later, two others were converted. It took 25 years before the fourth man was saved. Mueller persevered in prayer until his death for the fifth friend, and throughout those 52 years he never gave up hoping that he would accept Christ! His faith was rewarded, for soon after Mueller’s funeral the last one was saved.

13:1 ecce tertio hoc venio ad vos in ore duorum vel trium testium stabit omne verbum

13:2 praedixi et praedico ut praesens bis et nunc absens his qui ante peccaverunt et ceteris omnibus quoniam si venero iterum non parcam

13:3 an experimentum quaeritis eius qui in me loquitur Christi qui in vos non infirmatur sed potens est in vobis

13:4 nam et si crucifixus est ex infirmitate sed vivit ex virtute Dei nam et nos infirmi sumus in illo sed vivemus cum eo ex virtute Dei in vobis

13:5 vosmet ipsos temptate si estis in fide ipsi vos probate an non cognoscitis vos ipsos quia Christus Iesus in vobis est nisi forte reprobi estis

13:6 spero autem quod cognoscetis quia nos non sumus reprobi

13:7 oramus autem Deum ut nihil mali faciatis non ut nos probati pareamus sed ut vos quod bonum est faciatis nos autem ut reprobi simus

13:8 non enim possumus aliquid adversus veritatem sed pro veritate

13:9 gaudemus enim quando nos infirmi sumus vos autem potentes estis hoc et oramus vestram consummationem

13:10 ideo haec absens scribo ut non praesens durius agam secundum potestatem quam Dominus dedit mihi in aedificationem et non in destructionem

13:11 de cetero fratres gaudete perfecti estote exhortamini idem sapite pacem habete et Deus dilectionis et pacis erit vobiscum

13:12 salutate invicem in osculo sancto salutant vos sancti omnes
