Each Day Sacred

Each day sacred - Rom 14:5-6

Vs 5 – The issue of what day to worship has been a hot topic since the beginning of the church.  The Jewish Sabbath is on Saturday and usually those who favor form and substance can fall into this camp.  They favor law and regulations, outward signs of faith.  They like the old, verses the new.  We however live in a new covenant.  Jesus rose from the dead on Sunday and it has been the prefer day of worship for many since the church began.  Paul did both.  When he was trying to reach the Jews he would go to the Jewish meeting place and bring Jesus to the Jews.  One man considers one day sacred and another may consider all days sacred.  The issue to Paul is that each one be convinced in their own mind what they believe.  

Vs 6 – One man considers one day sacred to the Lord.  Another man eats meat and eats it to the Lord.  The one who abstains also does this practice unto the Lord.  Each is an act of worship and is a choice of personal conscience and responsibility if others approve or do not, we still must live a life that is pleasing to the Lord.  We are not accountable to others when it comes to final judgment.
