God came to this earth to seek and to save the lost. (Luke 19:10)

Then, among the many people in this world, who are "the lost"?

God is looking for those who worship Him in spirit and in truth. (John 4:23)

Who, then, are those who worship in truth?

 

It is said in the Bible that God's word is truth. (John 17:14-17)

Therefore, all the words of the Bible and every word given by God, who came in the flesh to this earth, are the truth.

Then, what does it mean to worship our God with this truth?

It is the Sabbath worship (Exodus 20:8-11), which is the most important word of God and the truth recorded in the Bible.

God seeks those who worship Him with this truth, the Sabbath, and bestows His blessings upon them. (Genesis 2:1-3)

These are "the lost" whom God came to this earth to find.

The book of Hebrews also records that He appeared a second time to bring salvation to those who are waiting for Him. (Hebrews 9:28)

 

Which day of the week is the Sabbath according to the Bible?

Jesus rose early in the morning on Sunday, and the Bible records this day as "the first day of the week," (Luke 24:1-3)

The seventh day of the Week, the Sabbath is on Saturday.

Therefore, the Sabbath testified in the Bible is Saturday. (Mark 16:9)

 

Jesus is the Lord of the Sabbath (Matthew 12:8) and set the example by keeping the Sabbath. (Luke 4:16)

Those who belong to God are those who worship on this seventh day, Saturday, and God said He is seeking such people.

God's people listen to God's voice. (John 10:25-27)

It is upon these people that God bestows His greatest blessings.
