The Gospel

Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the GOSPEL which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

1 Corinthians 16:2

Title: On the first day of the week


Who decides where we should be and what we should be doing on the first day of the week? We could argue all we want but the fact remains that the answer is “God”. The Lord chooses those who are to worship him, and He had also chosen the day when worship should occur. This has been the pattern since the end of the initial creation, and the determination that a week would consist of seven days. We have no right to that day except to reverence God, and to rest our bodies from six days of work.
