Note: Paul predicted that after He was gone, Satan would cause errors to come into the church and draw many people away from God’s truth.
Although some Christians have always remained faithful to the Sabbath day, many Christians have given up the seventh-day Sabbath for the first day of the week, Sunday.
The early Catholic Church wanted to attract more people to their church. Many who were converted brought ideas with them that didn’t fit with Bible teachings. Many of these people honored the ‘sun’ on the first day of the week. In fact, that’s how the day got its name, Sunday! Church leaders began to think it would be easier to win pagan converts to their church if they could continue to worship on the day they were used to honoring. Gradually, God’s law was forgotten as Sunday became more popular.
Do you think God knew that this would happen? That is why He says, “Remember the Sabbath day”, because so many would forget!
