Is Sabbath Keeping a Requirement in Salvation?

Is keeping the Sabbath and all of Christ's Ten Commandments a requirement in salvation?

Jesus Christ, Creator of all things, Genesis 1:1, John 1:3, 14, Col. 1:15-16, gave to mankind laws or commandments, if obeyed, would assure man a loving relationship between him and his God, and between man and his neighbor, John 15:10-15. Man in his pursuit of life, physical and spiritual, has fought against obedience to Christ's commandments from day one of man's existence, Genesis 3:11, Hosea 4:6 and Romans 8:7. The overwhelming majority of man's works, writings and preaching has been teachings and doctrines against Christ's Ten Commandments. Even though Christ did not codify and number His Ten Commandments, statutes and judgments in the very beginning of His written Word, anyone with any study of the scriptures at all will know they were known and made known to man at that time. For example: Genesis 2:1-3, Genesis 2:16-17, Genesis 3:22 with Revelation 22:14, Genesis 4:7-15, Genesis 6:5, 9, 11-13, Genesis 7:2, Genesis 17:1 Genesis 26:5 and even the gentiles knew of God's law, Genesis 20:6-11.

As in the beginning, when God, Christ, gave His law and commandments, Christ also gave a law given in judgment that demands one's life in payment for breaking God's commandments, His law, Ezekiel 18:4. God the Father, sent His willing Son, Jesus Christ, to pay the judgment laws debt of life, the penalty for sin, to justify the law's demands upon one's eternal life, to pay man's eternal death payment, because man has broken Christ's Ten Commandments and His statutes, which are extensions, details, which make God's law clear and understandable. Jesus Christ gave His life in payment for man's Sabbath transgressions and transgressing all of His fourth commandments, such as, not working at serving work six days, not resting on the Sabbath, or by asking one's own or some other person's servant to work a physical work on the Sabbath, or even working animals, which all profanes God's Sabbath, Exodus 20:8-11, Neh. 10:31, Neh. 13:15-21.

Upon man's repentance and faith in Christ's sacrifice, Acts 2:38, and His plan of salvation, man can be forgiven of the sin, (payment) penalty of eternal death. The law is justified, or as is written in Col. 2:14, the law's ordinance is nailed to the cross, no more applicable to man if he fulfills and keeps the contract, the covenant of his repentance, to obey Christ's Ten Commandments. Upon this conversion of the heart and faith in Christ's death payment and resurrection, Christ gives the free gift of life, whereas man does not have to pay for the sin debt, his own eternal life. Christ makes salvation, eternal life, a free gift to man if he truly is sorry, borken up, ashamed and is of a contrite heart and mind. In this conversion process, Christ also promises the gift of His Holy spirit, to help man do what he has promised God he will do, based on his repentance.

Is the 7th Day Sabbath observance necessary in salvation? It is proof, along with faith and obedience to the other nine commandments, that one has been saved and is living in a state of assured salvation. If anyone teaches that keeping the Sabbath, the 7th Day holy as Christ commanded it to be kept, is not proof and fruit of one's repentance, along with faith in Christ, then that person, be he a Bible scholar, Bible teacher or a layman of a church, is teaching against Christ and His commandments. Woe be unto that teacher! Is obedience to Christ's Ten Commandments important? It is proof and evidence one has repented of his sins. If one will not live by, obey and keep the Sabbath and all His Commandments, then that person wil die by the law given in God's judgments. "The soul that sins, it shall die," Deut. 4:29-31, Exek. 3:18, Ezek. 18:4. Breaking the 4th commandment and all it commands is sin! "The wages (payment) for sin is death," Romans 6:23.

Beware of the subtlety of teaching by religious teachers against God's Sabbath and all of His commandments, as to their not being necessare to obey in salvation. One needs to study to know what is true repentance, what is sin and what is faith. Jesus Christ demands that you know these doctrines if you desire His gift of salvation!

"Professed Christianity" tries to spiritualize away God's Ten Commandments given in the Old Testament, as being not binding on Christians today, to obey. When God, through the power of His Holy Spirit, wrote on the two tablets of stones His Ten Commandments, somehow that is different from God's Holy Spirit writing on the hearts of true Christians today, His set of laws. They teach that His law of love then, is different from the law of love written today in Christian hearts and minds. They state that God's Ten Commandments of the Old Testament, are spiritually inadequate to express love today to God, and to man's neighbor. Are these statements true or in total error?????

If a person desires to love God or his neighbor, they are saying that a person does not need God's Ten Commandments to tell him how to do that. They are saying they need no commandment from God to tell them that love to God demands putting Him first, and to have no other gods before Him. They in their "own great wisdom" reason they can love God "in their own way" without any commandment to guide them, or to command them. They also reason in their "great spiritual intellect" that they need no commandment telling them not to make a graven image or spiritual image, or likeness of God in heaven, that they can love and make their own image of God, without any Biblical, foundational, 2nd commandment of His! They say they need no foundational love commandments, such as the 3rd commandment, telling them not to take God's Name in vain, and not to disrespect and dishonor His Name in their daily lives. They as being "their own god" can decide how to honor God by "their own holy spirit" that they have gotten from something or someone. They also say they need no commandment of God telling them what day of the week He made holy and to observe, that they have a "spirit" that tells them that they can keep any day, even the 1st day of the week, if they choose. These "professed Christians" are following the "gods" of their own mind, heart and spirit, as has been written in their hearts by a spirit. By "whose spirit" was it written in their hearts? Genesis 3:1-5.

God's Ten Commandments give man the foundation for building a love relationship between him and Christ the Creator, and man's neighbor. No one should try to build anything without a foundation. The foundation is the support of the whole building. Any house or home built without a foundation will soon come down. Any Christian trying to build love in his life without love's foundation, which is God's Ten Commandments, will come down because it is built on sand, Matthew 7:24-27. Love is the fulfilling of His law, Romans 13:9-10. Christ said, "If one desires to love Him, keep My commandments," John 14:14. If The Ten Commandments are not the foundational commandments for building love, then what are the foundational laws and commandments for building love? Anyone, please name the commandments that are the foundational commandments for building the love of Christ. Please give Scriptures!!!!!!

Remember, "There is a way that seems right (love, the way to live), but will end in death," Proverbs 16:25. Also, "The wages (reaping or product) of sin, (breaking God's Ten Commandments) is death," Romans 6:23.
