Before knowing the truth of the Sabbath, I kept Sunday service faithfully, thinking that I could receive many blessings from it. No matter how hectic my schedule was, worshiping God would always be my first priority. In order to reach the worship hall on time, I often prayed for a smooth journey, “Please help me not to miss the bus.” Nevertheless, I always felt bored and empty while listening to the sermons. Whenever the pastors started to talk about philosophy and how to manage interpersonal relationships, I never failed to doze off.
I loved studying the Bible, but the Bible study sessions I had attended were merely presentations of various theological theories proposed by different Biblical scholars. “We, as humans, cannot fathom the Bible. Just love God,” the pastors would always say.
The members of my Church believed that if they were to shake the pastor’s hand, they would receive blessings. After service, people would queue up for the customary handshake. I too, joined in. “The pastor is also an ordinary man like us, will I really be blessed like that? How can I know more about God? How can I truly receive blessings from God?” I often wondered.
One day, a friend of mine shared an astounding truth—the day of worship is the Sabbath on Saturday, not Sunday. I looked closely at the verse she showed me.
Genesis 2:1-3 By the seventh day, God had finished the work he had been doing, so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. And God blessed the seventh day by making it holy.
The blessed day, Sabbath is on Saturday. Not Sunday!
She continued to show me Exodus 20:8 “Remember the Sabbath by keeping it holy…” Sabbath is even set as the fourth commandment among the Ten Commandments.
The record is so clear. Why do general churches still keep Sunday service? What is the origin of Sunday service?
In response to my questions, my friend lent me her book titled ‘My Sheep Listen To My Voice’. I stayed overnight to finish the whole book. Undeniably, the day of worship appointed by God is on Saturday, not Sunday, contrary to popular belief. Historical and biblical evidence clearly testified to this fact. Sunday, on the other hand, is a man-made tradition. In AD 321, Roman Emperor Constantine legalized Sunday worship. He called Sunday—the memorial day of the Sun God. There is not a single verse in the Bible that says we can receive blessings through Sunday service. Instead, by keeping Sunday service, we will commit the sin of breaking the Sabbath and come to worship other gods. How can we enter heaven if we go against the will of God?
Soon after, I attended the Church of God that keeps the Sabbath according to the new covenant. The World Mission Society Church of God delivers the will of God in every sermon, and quotes verses from the Bible. While studying more at the Church of God, I verified from the Bible that the Memorial Day of the Creator is the Sabbath day. It is also a sign between us and God. God promises overflowing blessings through the Sabbath day. The water of life that I received really quenched my thirsty soul. My heart was filled with joy and thanks. Even though it was my first time attending service, all my anxiety vanished when I saw the bright smiles of the members in the World Mission Society Church of God. It was so beautiful that they served one another and continually gave thanks to God. Since then, I looked forward to keeping the Sabbath every week. Which of God’s words will I study on that day? How many more blessings will I store up through the coming Sabbath? My heart flutters whenever I think of the Sabbath.
The best part is that through the Sabbath day, I came to know the Creator God—Elohim God, our Spiritual Father and Mother. As it is written in the Bible “so that you would know that I am the Lord, who makes you holy”. Our dear Heavenly Parents were the reality of the burnt offerings offered on the Sabbath day, to cleanse us of all the sins and give us the precious promise of the everlasting rest in heaven. How can I ever give enough thanks to Elohim God? With a thankful heart, I will keep the Sabbath until the end and boldly preach it to the people around me.

As reading this writing I thought more about the importance of preaching the gospel. There are so many people who believe in God but don’t know the truth for salvation.
Sunday is a merely public holiday made by Rome not The Blessed or God’s Holy day. I truly give Thanks to God who changed my life brightly and holy after keeping the Sabbath..
We are all blessed because we read, hear and take the words of God to our hearts in WMSCOG!! How happy and glorious it is that we are children of Elohim God who are true saviors of this age. Keeping Sabbath is only allowed to us, not to them. Thanks to Father and Mother!!
Amen. Without keeping the sabbath day, we can never become children of God.
By keeping the true worship day on the 7th day, the Sabbath day, we can be the children of God.
I’m very happy to be able to keep the Sabbath day!
Amen! I have kept the Sunday service for a long time, but I knew that I had no idea about the truth, while observing the Sabbath. If we do not observe the Sabbath, we can not distinguish between the truth and the false. And we do not know who the true Savior is. How sad this is. So we must tell the Sabbath to many people and let them know!
Surely Sabbath day is the day God want us to remember the creation work of Almightly God and the day God promise the blessings to us and make us holy. Shall we follow God’s will to keep Sabbath Day or follow men’s will to keep Sunday service which is only men’s own thought? To people who truly love God and follow God, the answer is crystal clear!! I give thanks to God Elohim for reveal the truth in this spiritually dark world!
Let us keep the Sabbath day in accordance with the will of God and enter everlasting rest. ^^
Father said if you love me you will keep my commands. Sabbath is definitely God‘s word^^ let’s keep the Sabbath day together!!
When I think of the word ” Church”, the first thing comes to my mind is Sunday. It felt so natural that I never question it. One day, a sister from Church of God preached to me about Sabbath Day. Then I was shown through the Bible and even the dictionary that seventh day is Saturday. It was so shocking!! I am really relieved now that I am keeping Sabbath Day😁
I am so thankful to Heavenly Father and Mother for restoring the Sabbath Day, a truly blessed day according to the promise of God (and God never lies about His promises). I want to keep Sabbath to the end and share this amazing truth to everyone!
Through studying the bible, I can find out the true worship day! it is called Sabbath day and it is on SATURDAY! I definitely going to keep this precious day that Almighty God have given to us, sinners!
The Sabbath day is the sign between God and us. It’s so important to those who wants to be God’s children.
Please keep the Sabbath day holy according to the will of God.
It is so clear that the Sabbath day is on Sat. No doubt. We should give thanks to God who is our creator by keeping the Sabbath day. Hope everyone knows this truth and can be blessed.
It’s really a great shock to me as that Sabbath is Saturday not Sunday according to the Bible.
Since God clearly promised blessing on Sabbath day – Saturday, I too started to attend the World Mission Society Church of God which absolutely follow the teaching of the Bible.
I feel so blessed that God has allowed me to know this amazing truth!!!
Truly give thanks to Father and Mother for opening our spiritual eyes and ears! We are all sinners. We go to church to worship God not to hear Pastor’s wonderful speech. Our focus should always be God!
By studying the words of God, we may understand the true will of God.
Surely the Sabbath day is on SATURDAY without fail!!! Sunday service’s origin is not from the Bible, but from men. If we earnestly want to return to the kingdom of heaven, we should honor God’s commandment – the 7th day Sabbath on Saturday; and keep it to receive blessings. All praises and thanks and glory be to Them forever and ever!!!
I too was once a devout Sunday keeper. When I first learned about the Sabbath in Bible, I knew I had to share this good news to my parents immediately. However, the reaction I got from them was the exact opposite of what I had hoped for. The more I tried to explain, the more they refused to listen. My heart sank, just moments before I had imagined my parents in delight after learning of the Sabbath but that quickly became a short lived dream as I conceded to them.
As time passed, the ordeal slowly faded away as I continued going to Church on Sunday. It was then my friend, with his Relentless persuasion, led me to study about the Sabbath in the World Mission Church of God again.
It was a decision that forever changed my life. Like a fresh breath of wind blowing on the embers of a dying flame, God reignited the fire that I had experienced when I had first heard of the Sabbath. I could not deny it again. If it were any clearer it would had been written in the Bible as “Sabbath is on S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y!”
Through the Holy Sabbath Day, we come to recognise our true Almighty God and the Father and Mother of our spirits which we have lost memories of because of our sins.
Let us never leave our loving Parents again and keep the Sabbath Day holy until the very end!
Let us also lead all the lost souls in the world, who are still spiritual orphans that do not know about their Parents, back to Father and Mother’s loving arms in Zion!
Thanks to God’s holy sacrifice , we are able to keep the Sabbath day and are made holy through this blessed day. All glory and praises be to Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother forever and ever!
By keeping the commands of God like the seventh-day Sabbath and Passover of the New Covenant, I have truly come to know the concrete way I can come to serve only God!
Amen! Amazing Frgrance! Thanks to Father and Mother!
Let us all keep the Sabbath Day, the 7th Day, and enter Heaven hand in hand! 🙂
