I love how God gives us rest, rest from the world and our burdens etc. Some even talk about how we must do ministry work on the Sabbath like Jesus did but I'm still trying to find time to learn about that. It is good to do good on Sabbath? I've been watching TTAV since 2020 (not so much now), and they have been talking about how our brains, our thoughts can hurt us physically and even our immune system-wise etc, and what do we learn from Bible? To rest, cast our cares upon Him, etc etc. 😎🤯💝
Question: I’ve heard many that are non-Adventist say, the Sabbath command wasn’t given to Noah or Adam, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob or even Joseph when he was enslaved in Egypt. They say, if there was no Sabbath command given by God prior to Sinai, why is there a need to keep it? Would like to you know your thoughts on that. Thanks!
@dbz24 The command was given in Genesis 2:3 as "Sanctify." Sanctify means set apart by religious use, so it is commanded long before Sinai. Also, we are grafted into Israel, that the 4th commandment explicitly says The Stranger Within the Gate should also keep the Sabbath. In other words, Not only was it commandment in the very beginning, in the commandant itself it explicitly calls out the stranger, which we are.
@@FishermensCorner IF it was a command from EDEN why r there no accounts in SCRIPTURES prior to Moses? Why was there no evening and morning in thé 7 th? What is the signification? How Then do u exegete hebrews 4 , that the jews who ADHERED STRICTLY to the Sabbath command did not enter into God's rest?
@charnelallan7159 A command given in Eden doesn't need to be repeated. Gen 2:3 וַיְקַדֵּ֖שׁ is the command, וַֽיְקַדְּשֵֽׁהוּ is the SAME COMMAND Exodus 20:11 speaking PAST TENSE.

Let’s break down 2 Corinthians 3, focusing on the discussion about the Old Covenant, the Ten Commandments, and how Paul contrasts the law with the new covenant. This chapter is key when discussing the relationship between the law of Moses and the new life in Christ, and it’s crucial in explaining why Christians are not bound by the law in the same way Seventh-day Adventists often teach. 1. The Ministry of the Old Covenant (Verses 1-3) Paul begins by explaining that the Corinthians are themselves a letter of commendation written by the Spirit of the living God on human hearts, not on tablets of stone. This is an indirect reference to the Ten Commandments, which were written on stone tablets, as opposed to the work of the Holy Spirit in transforming human hearts. • 2 Corinthians 3:3 (NIV): “You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.” Key Point: Paul is making a contrast between the law written on stone (the Ten Commandments) and the Spirit-written law in the hearts of believers under the new covenant. 2. The New Covenant of the Spirit vs. the Old Covenant of the Letter (Verses 4-6) Paul continues by declaring that the ministry of the Spirit is superior to the ministry of the law because the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. The old covenant, represented by the law of Moses, brought death because it highlighted sin, but the new covenant brings life through the Spirit. • 2 Corinthians 3:6 (NIV): “He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant-not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.” Key Point: The old covenant (the law) could only condemn sinners because it was powerless to save. The new covenant, established through Christ, brings life and righteousness through the Holy Spirit. 3. The Glory of the Old Covenant and the Greater Glory of the New Covenant (Verses 7-11) Paul refers directly to the Ten Commandments as the ministry of death, engraved on stone tablets. He acknowledges that the old covenant was glorious-so glorious that Moses’ face shone with the glory of God after receiving the commandments. However, Paul argues that the new covenant of the Spirit is even more glorious because it brings righteousness, not condemnation. • 2 Corinthians 3:7-8 (NIV): “Now if the ministry that brought death, which was engraved in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the Israelites could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of its glory, transitory though it was, will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious?” • 2 Corinthians 3:9 (NIV): “If the ministry that brought condemnation was glorious, how much more glorious is the ministry that brings righteousness!” Key Point: While the Ten Commandments and the old covenant had glory, they ultimately brought condemnation because no one could fulfill the law perfectly. In contrast, the new covenant brings righteousness and eternal life through faith in Christ, and this new covenant has a far greater glory. 4. The Veil of the Old Covenant (Verses 12-18) Paul then speaks of a veil that remains over the hearts of those who read the old covenant without understanding that it points to Christ. He refers to how Moses wore a veil to hide the fading glory of the law, and how a similar veil still blinds the Jews who are trying to live by the law without seeing its fulfillment in Christ. • 2 Corinthians 3:14-15 (NIV): “But their minds were made dull, for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant is read. It has not been removed, because only in Christ is it taken away. Even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts.” Paul concludes by saying that where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom, and that believers are being transformed into the image of Christ with ever-increasing glory. • 2 Corinthians 3:17-18 (NIV): “Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.” Key Point: The veil is a metaphor for spiritual blindness. When someone turns to Christ, the veil is lifted, and they can fully understand the purpose of the law: to lead people to Christ. In Christ, there is freedom from the law’s condemnation, and believers are transformed by the Holy Spirit. Summary of Chapter 3: • Paul contrasts the old covenant (represented by the Ten Commandments written on stone) with the new covenant of the Spirit. • The old covenant, though glorious, brought condemnation and death because no one could perfectly keep the law. It served as a ministry of death. • The new covenant brings righteousness and life through the Spirit, and it is far more glorious. • Those who cling to the law without turning to Christ are still spiritually veiled. Only in Christ is the veil removed, and through the Spirit, believers experience freedom and are transformed into the image of Christ. How This Applies to the Seventh-day Adventist Discussion: This chapter is a great way to explain that, while the law, including the Ten Commandments, was important and had its glory, it has been surpassed by the new covenant. The law brought condemnation because it highlighted human sin, but the new covenant brings life and righteousness through faith in Christ.
Let’s break down the Book of Galatians. Paul wrote this letter to the churches in the region of Galatia to address a serious issue: some false teachers, known as Judaizers, were insisting that Gentile Christians needed to observe the Law of Moses, including circumcision, in order to be truly saved. Paul’s letter defends the gospel of justification by faith in Christ alone and not by works of the law. Overview of Galatians: • Author: The Apostle Paul • Recipients: The churches in Galatia • Purpose: To refute the teachings of the Judaizers and to explain that salvation comes by faith in Christ and not by observing the Law of Moses. Chapter Breakdown: Chapter 1: Paul Defends His Apostleship and the True Gospel Paul opens the letter with a greeting and expresses shock that the Galatians are so quickly deserting the gospel of grace for a false gospel. He emphasizes that there is only one true gospel and curses anyone who preaches a different one. Paul then defends his apostleship, explaining that his calling came directly from Jesus Christ, not from human authority. • Galatians 1:6-7 (NIV): “I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you to live in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel-which is really no gospel at all.” • Key Point: Paul establishes that the gospel of grace is the only way to salvation, and any teaching that adds works of the law to the gospel is false. Chapter 2: Justified by Faith, Not by the Law Paul recounts his visit to Jerusalem and his confrontation with Peter in Antioch. He tells how Peter, under pressure from Judaizers, withdrew from eating with Gentile Christians, leading others into hypocrisy. Paul rebukes Peter, explaining that both Jews and Gentiles are justified by faith in Christ, not by following the Law of Moses. • Galatians 2:16 (NIV): “Know that a person is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no one will be justified.” • Key Point: Justification is by faith alone in Christ. Paul condemns legalism and insists that relying on the law nullifies the grace of God. Chapter 3: The Law and Faith in Christ In this chapter, Paul makes a powerful argument against trying to be justified by the law. He reminds the Galatians that they received the Holy Spirit by faith, not by works. Paul uses Abraham as an example of someone who was justified by faith before the law even existed. He argues that the law was temporary and that its purpose was to act as a guardian until Christ came. • Galatians 3:10-11 (NIV): “For all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse, as it is written: ‘Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.’ Clearly no one who relies on the law is justified before God, because ‘the righteous will live by faith.’ “ • Key Point: The law brings a curse because no one can keep it perfectly. Christ redeemed believers from the curse by becoming a curse for them. Salvation is through faith, not by observing the law. Chapter 4: The Purpose of the Law and Our Freedom in Christ Paul compares the law to slavery and contrasts it with the freedom believers have in Christ. He explains that under the law, people were like children or slaves, but now, through Christ, they are sons of God and heirs of His promise. Paul expresses concern that the Galatians are turning back to legalistic observances, which he equates to returning to slavery. • Galatians 4:4-5 (NIV): “But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship.” • Key Point: Believers are no longer slaves under the law but are free children of God. Turning back to the law after being set free is to reject the freedom that Christ brings. Chapter 5: Freedom in Christ and the Fruit of the Spirit Paul teaches that Christ has set believers free, and they should not return to a yoke of slavery by trying to live under the law. Instead of relying on the law, believers are to live by the Spirit. He contrasts the works of the flesh with the fruit of the Spirit, urging the Galatians to live in the power of the Spirit, which naturally produces good fruit. • Galatians 5:1 (NIV): “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.” • Galatians 5:18 (NIV): “But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.” • Key Point: Freedom in Christ means living by the Holy Spirit. Believers no longer live by the law, but the Spirit produces love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control in their lives. Chapter 6: Bearing Each Other’s Burdens and Final Warnings Paul concludes the letter with practical instructions. He urges the Galatians to bear one another’s burdens, to do good to all people, and to not grow weary in doing good. He also emphasizes that those who boast about circumcision or keeping the law are wrong, and instead, the only thing worth boasting about is the cross of Christ. • Galatians 6:14 (NIV): “May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.” • Key Point: Paul encourages believers to live in love, helping others and focusing on the cross rather than works of the law. Summary of Key Teachings in Galatians: • Justification by Faith: Paul makes it clear that salvation comes by faith in Christ alone, not by keeping the law. • The Law and Grace: The Law of Moses was a temporary guardian meant to lead people to Christ. Once Christ came, believers were no longer under the law but under grace. • Freedom in Christ: Christians have been set free from the bondage of the law and are to live by the Spirit, which produces good fruit in their lives. • Warning Against Legalism: Paul warns against the Judaizers who were teaching that Gentile believers must keep the law, especially circumcision, to be saved. This breakdown highlights Paul’s central message: that faith in Christ is sufficient for salvation, and the law is no longer the path to righteousness. Christians are called to live in the freedom and power of the Spirit, not under the old legal system.

Let’s break down the Book of Titus, focusing specifically on what Paul teaches about confronting false teachings, particularly those that would manipulate and mislead others regarding the law, including the Ten Commandments and the Sabbath. This letter was written by Paul to Titus, a trusted disciple, giving him instructions on how to lead and organize the church in Crete and deal with various challenges, especially false teachings. Overview of Titus • Author: The Apostle Paul. • Recipient: Titus, who was leading the churches in Crete. • Purpose: To give practical instructions about appointing elders, teaching sound doctrine, godly living, and rebuking false teachers. • Key Themes: • Leadership in the church • Sound doctrine • Good works and Christian living • Warnings against false teaching • The grace of God and salvation through Christ 1. Titus and the Ten Commandments In Titus, Paul doesn’t directly teach the Ten Commandments as a list of rules but rather emphasizes sound doctrine, godly living, and the grace of God that leads to righteousness. However, the moral principles underlying the Ten Commandments-such as integrity, honesty, and faithfulness-are reflected in the instructions Paul gives Titus for how Christians should live. • Titus 2:7-8 (NIV): “In everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned, so that those who oppose you may be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say about us.” Paul’s concern is that believers live in a way that reflects godly character and righteousness, something that aligns with the moral law embedded in the Ten Commandments. However, Paul stresses that salvation and righteousness come not from the law but from grace through faith in Jesus Christ. 2. The Sabbath and Legalism in Titus While the Sabbath itself is not directly mentioned in Titus, Paul’s emphasis throughout his letters, including here, is that legalistic observance of the law-such as insisting on keeping the Sabbath in the strict sense of the Old Covenant-is not the path to righteousness. • Titus 3:9 (NIV): “But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and arguments and quarrels about the law, because these are unprofitable and useless.” Paul is cautioning Titus to reprehend and silence those who insist on legalism (e.g., arguing over the law of Moses, which includes Sabbath observance) as the way to salvation. Instead, Paul teaches that grace and faith in Christ are the true paths to salvation, not the law. 3. Dealing with False Teachers (Titus 1:10-16) One of Paul’s primary concerns in Titus is the presence of false teachers in Crete, and he instructs Titus on how to deal with them. These false teachers were likely promoting some form of legalism or Judaizing, requiring people to follow parts of the Mosaic law, such as circumcision and possibly Sabbath-keeping, to be saved. • Titus 1:10-11 (NIV): “For there are many rebellious people, full of meaningless talk and deception, especially those of the circumcision group. They must be silenced, because they are disrupting whole households by teaching things they ought not to teach-and that for the sake of dishonest gain.” Paul instructs Titus to rebuke these false teachers sharply and to silence them because their false teachings are disrupting the faith of many. Paul directly calls out the “circumcision group” (likely those promoting legalistic adherence to the law, including things like circumcision and possibly Sabbath observance). • Titus 1:13 (NIV): “Therefore rebuke them sharply, so that they will be sound in the faith and will pay no attention to Jewish myths or to the merely human commands of those who reject the truth.” Paul is clear that false teachings which emphasize the need to follow the Mosaic law to be saved are to be rebuked and corrected. 4. Paul’s Central Message in Titus: The Grace of God Throughout the letter, Paul emphasizes the grace of God as the foundation for the Christian life, rather than legalistic adherence to the law. This is key when confronting Adventist legalism or any form of legalism that insists on Sabbath-keeping or other Mosaic laws as a requirement for salvation. • Titus 2:11-12 (NIV): “For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say ‘No’ to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age.” This passage is important because it shows that grace, not legalism, is what enables believers to live godly lives. Paul teaches that the grace of God is what leads to righteous living, not following the letter of the law. 5. Paul’s Warning Against Division over the Law In Titus 3:9-11, Paul gives final instructions regarding controversies and quarrels about the law. He is very clear that these arguments are useless and divisive. • Titus 3:9 (NIV): “But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and arguments and quarrels about the law, because these are unprofitable and useless.” • Titus 3:10 (NIV): “Warn a divisive person once, and then warn them a second time. After that, have nothing to do with them.” Paul is instructing Titus not to allow legalistic arguments to disrupt the church, especially those arguments about the Mosaic law that have been rendered obsolete by the New Covenant in Christ. Conclusion and Application In the Book of Titus, Paul emphasizes that grace through faith in Jesus Christ is the source of salvation and righteousness, not legalism or adherence to the law (including the Sabbath). He warns Titus to rebuke those who teach false doctrines that insist on legalistic observance of the law as necessary for salvation.

Paul wrote Romans to explain how God’s grace works through faith in Christ, rather than relying on legalism or the Mosaic law, which includes observances like the Sabbath. 1. Romans 1-3: Humanity’s Sin and God’s Righteousness • Key Message: All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. • Romans 3:23-24 (NIV): “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.” Paul begins by showing that both Jews and Gentiles are guilty before God. He teaches that no one can be justified (declared righteous) by keeping the law because everyone has broken it. Whether Jew or Gentile, we all need God’s grace through faith in Jesus Christ to be saved. • SDA Context: SDAs emphasize keeping the Sabbath as a sign of faithfulness to God, but Paul is making it clear that no law (including the Sabbath) can justify us. We are all guilty and cannot keep the law perfectly. 2. Romans 4: Justification by Faith, Not by Works of the Law • Key Message: Abraham was justified by faith, not by works. • Romans 4:3 (NIV): “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.” Paul points to Abraham, the father of the faith, as an example. Abraham was declared righteous before the law (including the Sabbath) was even given. He was justified because he trusted God, not because of his works. • SDA Context: This chapter is crucial for understanding that faith in God, not the observance of specific laws like the Sabbath, is what makes someone righteous. Keeping the Sabbath, while important, is not what justifies a person in God’s eyes. 3. Romans 5-6: Freedom from Sin and the Law through Christ • Key Message: Christ’s death brings freedom from sin and the law. • Romans 6:14 (NIV): “For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace.” Paul explains that through Jesus’ death and resurrection, believers are freed from the power of sin and the law. When we put our faith in Christ, we are no longer bound by the law’s requirements for righteousness, including Sabbath-keeping. Instead, we live under grace, where God empowers us to live holy lives through the Holy Spirit. • SDA Context: SDAs often view the Sabbath as central to their identity as believers. However, Paul makes the case that our relationship with God is not based on observances of the law but on the freedom found in Christ. 4. Romans 7: The Law’s Purpose and Its Limitations • Key Message: The law is good, but it can’t save us-it only reveals sin. • Romans 7:7 (NIV): “What shall we say, then? Is the law sinful? Certainly not! Nevertheless, I would not have known what sin was had it not been for the law.” Here, Paul explains that the law (including the Ten Commandments) is good because it reveals sin. However, the law is powerless to save us-it can only show us how far we fall short of God’s standard. Paul describes the inner struggle of trying to keep the law and realizing that it only brings condemnation because no one can keep it perfectly. • SDA Context: While SDAs emphasize the importance of keeping the Sabbath as part of the law, Paul is clear that the law can’t bring salvation. Its purpose is to point out our need for a Savior, which is Jesus Christ. 5. Romans 8: Life in the Spirit, Not the Law • Key Message: We are not condemned if we are in Christ, and we live by the Spirit, not by the law. • Romans 8:1-2 (NIV): “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death.” In Romans 8, Paul explains that Jesus has set believers free from the law of sin and death. The Holy Spirit now empowers believers to live lives that please God, not by following the letter of the law, but by walking in the Spirit. The law (including the Sabbath) was a shadow pointing to the reality of what Christ would do for us. • SDA Context: This chapter challenges the SDA focus on the Sabbath as a central mark of faithfulness. Paul teaches that true life in Christ is lived through the Spirit, not through observance of the law. 6. Romans 9-11: God’s Plan for Jews and Gentiles • Key Message: Salvation is for both Jews and Gentiles, and it is by faith, not the law. • Romans 9:30-32 (NIV): “The Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith; but the people of Israel, who pursued the law as the way of righteousness, have not attained their goal.” Paul explains that Gentiles are included in God’s plan of salvation because they pursued righteousness by faith, not by keeping the law. The Jews, who tried to achieve righteousness through the law, missed the point of what the law was pointing to-Christ. • SDA Context: While SDAs often emphasize law-keeping (especially the Sabbath) as central to their faith, Paul makes it clear that righteousness comes through faith, not by following the law. 7. Romans 12-16: Living as Christians in the World • Key Message: Faith in Christ transforms our lives, and we are called to live out that faith in practical ways. • Romans 12:1-2 (NIV): “Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God-this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” In the final chapters, Paul provides practical instruction on how to live as Christians, transformed by grace and empowered by the Holy Spirit. He emphasizes love, humility, and service to others. • SDA Context: While living a holy life is essential, Paul emphasizes that this comes from a heart transformed by grace, not from legalistic observance of the law. Conclusion: Romans teaches that salvation and righteousness come through faith in Christ, not through keeping the law, including Sabbath observance. The law serves to show us our need for a Savior, but it cannot save us. Through Jesus, believers are freed from the requirements of the law and are called to live in the Spirit, which is the fulfillment of what the Sabbath and the law pointed to. This message directly challenges the SDA emphasis on Sabbath-keeping as a central mark of faithfulness.

Let’s break down 2 Corinthians 3, focusing on the discussion about the Old Covenant, the Ten Commandments, and how Paul contrasts the law with the new covenant. This chapter is key when discussing the relationship between the law of Moses and the new life in Christ, and it’s crucial in explaining why Christians are not bound by the law in the same way Seventh-day Adventists often teach.
1. The Ministry of the Old Covenant (Verses 1-3)
Paul begins by explaining that the Corinthians are themselves a letter of commendation written by the Spirit of the living God on human hearts, not on tablets of stone. This is an indirect reference to the Ten Commandments, which were written on stone tablets, as opposed to the work of the Holy Spirit in transforming human hearts.
• 2 Corinthians 3:3 (NIV): “You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.”
Key Point: Paul is making a contrast between the law written on stone (the Ten Commandments) and the Spirit-written law in the hearts of believers under the new covenant.
2. The New Covenant of the Spirit vs. the Old Covenant of the Letter (Verses 4-6)
Paul continues by declaring that the ministry of the Spirit is superior to the ministry of the law because the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. The old covenant, represented by the law of Moses, brought death because it highlighted sin, but the new covenant brings life through the Spirit.
• 2 Corinthians 3:6 (NIV): “He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant-not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.”
Key Point: The old covenant (the law) could only condemn sinners because it was powerless to save. The new covenant, established through Christ, brings life and righteousness through the Holy Spirit.
3. The Glory of the Old Covenant and the Greater Glory of the New Covenant (Verses 7-11)
Paul refers directly to the Ten Commandments as the ministry of death, engraved on stone tablets. He acknowledges that the old covenant was glorious-so glorious that Moses’ face shone with the glory of God after receiving the commandments. However, Paul argues that the new covenant of the Spirit is even more glorious because it brings righteousness, not condemnation.
• 2 Corinthians 3:7-8 (NIV): “Now if the ministry that brought death, which was engraved in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the Israelites could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of its glory, transitory though it was, will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious?”
• 2 Corinthians 3:9 (NIV): “If the ministry that brought condemnation was glorious, how much more glorious is the ministry that brings righteousness!”
Key Point: While the Ten Commandments and the old covenant had glory, they ultimately brought condemnation because no one could fulfill the law perfectly. In contrast, the new covenant brings righteousness and eternal life through faith in Christ, and this new covenant has a far greater glory.
4. The Veil of the Old Covenant (Verses 12-18)
Paul then speaks of a veil that remains over the hearts of those who read the old covenant without understanding that it points to Christ. He refers to how Moses wore a veil to hide the fading glory of the law, and how a similar veil still blinds the Jews who are trying to live by the law without seeing its fulfillment in Christ.
• 2 Corinthians 3:14-15 (NIV): “But their minds were made dull, for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant is read. It has not been removed, because only in Christ is it taken away. Even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts.”
Paul concludes by saying that where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom, and that believers are being transformed into the image of Christ with ever-increasing glory.
• 2 Corinthians 3:17-18 (NIV): “Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.”
Key Point: The veil is a metaphor for spiritual blindness. When someone turns to Christ, the veil is lifted, and they can fully understand the purpose of the law: to lead people to Christ. In Christ, there is freedom from the law’s condemnation, and believers are transformed by the Holy Spirit.
Summary of Chapter 3:
• Paul contrasts the old covenant (represented by the Ten Commandments written on stone) with the new covenant of the Spirit.
• The old covenant, though glorious, brought condemnation and death because no one could perfectly keep the law. It served as a ministry of death.
• The new covenant brings righteousness and life through the Spirit, and it is far more glorious.
• Those who cling to the law without turning to Christ are still spiritually veiled. Only in Christ is the veil removed, and through the Spirit, believers experience freedom and are transformed into the image of Christ.
How This Applies to the Seventh-day Adventist Discussion:
This chapter is a great way to explain that, while the law, including the Ten Commandments, was important and had its glory, it has been surpassed by the new covenant. The law brought condemnation because it highlighted human sin, but the new covenant brings life and righteousness through faith in Christ.

• Recipients: The churches in Galatia
• Purpose: To refute the teachings of the Judaizers and to explain that salvation comes by faith in Christ and not by observing the Law of Moses.
Chapter Breakdown:
Chapter 1: Paul Defends His Apostleship and the True Gospel
Paul opens the letter with a greeting and expresses shock that the Galatians are so quickly deserting the gospel of grace for a false gospel. He emphasizes that there is only one true gospel and curses anyone who preaches a different one. Paul then defends his apostleship, explaining that his calling came directly from Jesus Christ, not from human authority.
• Galatians 1:6-7 (NIV): “I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you to live in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel-which is really no gospel at all.”
• Key Point: Paul establishes that the gospel of grace is the only way to salvation, and any teaching that adds works of the law to the gospel is false.
Chapter 2: Justified by Faith, Not by the Law
Paul recounts his visit to Jerusalem and his confrontation with Peter in Antioch. He tells how Peter, under pressure from Judaizers, withdrew from eating with Gentile Christians, leading others into hypocrisy. Paul rebukes Peter, explaining that both Jews and Gentiles are justified by faith in Christ, not by following the Law of Moses.
• Galatians 2:16 (NIV): “Know that a person is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no one will be justified.”
• Key Point: Justification is by faith alone in Christ. Paul condemns legalism and insists that relying on the law nullifies the grace of God.
Chapter 3: The Law and Faith in Christ
In this chapter, Paul makes a powerful argument against trying to be justified by the law. He reminds the Galatians that they received the Holy Spirit by faith, not by works. Paul uses Abraham as an example of someone who was justified by faith before the law even existed. He argues that the law was temporary and that its purpose was to act as a guardian until Christ came.
• Galatians 3:10-11 (NIV): “For all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse, as it is written: ‘Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.’ Clearly no one who relies on the law is justified before God, because ‘the righteous will live by faith.’ “
• Key Point: The law brings a curse because no one can keep it perfectly. Christ redeemed believers from the curse by becoming a curse for them. Salvation is through faith, not by observing the law.
Chapter 4: The Purpose of the Law and Our Freedom in Christ
Paul compares the law to slavery and contrasts it with the freedom believers have in Christ. He explains that under the law, people were like children or slaves, but now, through Christ, they are sons of God and heirs of His promise. Paul expresses concern that the Galatians are turning back to legalistic observances, which he equates to returning to slavery.
• Galatians 4:4-5 (NIV): “But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship.”
• Key Point: Believers are no longer slaves under the law but are free children of God. Turning back to the law after being set free is to reject the freedom that Christ brings.
Chapter 5: Freedom in Christ and the Fruit of the Spirit
Paul teaches that Christ has set believers free, and they should not return to a yoke of slavery by trying to live under the law. Instead of relying on the law, believers are to live by the Spirit. He contrasts the works of the flesh with the fruit of the Spirit, urging the Galatians to live in the power of the Spirit, which naturally produces good fruit.
• Galatians 5:1 (NIV): “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.”
• Galatians 5:18 (NIV): “But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.”
• Key Point: Freedom in Christ means living by the Holy Spirit. Believers no longer live by the law, but the Spirit produces love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control in their lives.
Chapter 6: Bearing Each Other’s Burdens and Final Warnings
Paul concludes the letter with practical instructions. He urges the Galatians to bear one another’s burdens, to do good to all people, and to not grow weary in doing good. He also emphasizes that those who boast about circumcision or keeping the law are wrong, and instead, the only thing worth boasting about is the cross of Christ.
• Galatians 6:14 (NIV): “May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.”
• Key Point: Paul encourages believers to live in love, helping others and focusing on the cross rather than works of the law.
Summary of Key Teachings in Galatians:
• Justification by Faith: Paul makes it clear that salvation comes by faith in Christ alone, not by keeping the law.
• The Law and Grace: The Law of Moses was a temporary guardian meant to lead people to Christ. Once Christ came, believers were no longer under the law but under grace.
• Freedom in Christ: Christians have been set free from the bondage of the law and are to live by the Spirit, which produces good fruit in their lives.
• Warning Against Legalism: Paul warns against the Judaizers who were teaching that Gentile believers must keep the law, especially circumcision, to be saved.
This breakdown highlights Paul’s central message: that faith in Christ is sufficient for salvation, and the law is no longer the path to righteousness. Christians are called to live in the freedom and power of the Spirit, not under the old legal system.

Let’s break down the Book of Titus, focusing specifically on what Paul teaches about confronting false teachings, particularly those that would manipulate and mislead others regarding the law, including the Ten Commandments and the Sabbath. This letter was written by Paul to Titus, a trusted disciple, giving him instructions on how to lead and organize the church in Crete and deal with various challenges, especially false teachings.
Overview of Titus
• Author: The Apostle Paul.
• Recipient: Titus, who was leading the churches in Crete.
• Purpose: To give practical instructions about appointing elders, teaching sound doctrine, godly living, and rebuking false teachers.
• Key Themes:
• Leadership in the church
• Sound doctrine
• Good works and Christian living
• Warnings against false teaching
• The grace of God and salvation through Christ
1. Titus and the Ten Commandments
In Titus, Paul doesn’t directly teach the Ten Commandments as a list of rules but rather emphasizes sound doctrine, godly living, and the grace of God that leads to righteousness. However, the moral principles underlying the Ten Commandments-such as integrity, honesty, and faithfulness-are reflected in the instructions Paul gives Titus for how Christians should live.
• Titus 2:7-8 (NIV): “In everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned, so that those who oppose you may be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say about us.”
Paul’s concern is that believers live in a way that reflects godly character and righteousness, something that aligns with the moral law embedded in the Ten Commandments. However, Paul stresses that salvation and righteousness come not from the law but from grace through faith in Jesus Christ.
2. The Sabbath and Legalism in Titus
While the Sabbath itself is not directly mentioned in Titus, Paul’s emphasis throughout his letters, including here, is that legalistic observance of the law-such as insisting on keeping the Sabbath in the strict sense of the Old Covenant-is not the path to righteousness.
• Titus 3:9 (NIV): “But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and arguments and quarrels about the law, because these are unprofitable and useless.”
Paul is cautioning Titus to reprehend and silence those who insist on legalism (e.g., arguing over the law of Moses, which includes Sabbath observance) as the way to salvation. Instead, Paul teaches that grace and faith in Christ are the true paths to salvation, not the law.
3. Dealing with False Teachers (Titus 1:10-16)
One of Paul’s primary concerns in Titus is the presence of false teachers in Crete, and he instructs Titus on how to deal with them. These false teachers were likely promoting some form of legalism or Judaizing, requiring people to follow parts of the Mosaic law, such as circumcision and possibly Sabbath-keeping, to be saved.
• Titus 1:10-11 (NIV): “For there are many rebellious people, full of meaningless talk and deception, especially those of the circumcision group. They must be silenced, because they are disrupting whole households by teaching things they ought not to teach-and that for the sake of dishonest gain.”
Paul instructs Titus to rebuke these false teachers sharply and to silence them because their false teachings are disrupting the faith of many. Paul directly calls out the “circumcision group” (likely those promoting legalistic adherence to the law, including things like circumcision and possibly Sabbath observance).
• Titus 1:13 (NIV): “Therefore rebuke them sharply, so that they will be sound in the faith and will pay no attention to Jewish myths or to the merely human commands of those who reject the truth.”
Paul is clear that false teachings which emphasize the need to follow the Mosaic law to be saved are to be rebuked and corrected.
4. Paul’s Central Message in Titus: The Grace of God
Throughout the letter, Paul emphasizes the grace of God as the foundation for the Christian life, rather than legalistic adherence to the law. This is key when confronting Adventist legalism or any form of legalism that insists on Sabbath-keeping or other Mosaic laws as a requirement for salvation.
• Titus 2:11-12 (NIV): “For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say ‘No’ to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age.”
This passage is important because it shows that grace, not legalism, is what enables believers to live godly lives. Paul teaches that the grace of God is what leads to righteous living, not following the letter of the law.
5. Paul’s Warning Against Division over the Law
In Titus 3:9-11, Paul gives final instructions regarding controversies and quarrels about the law. He is very clear that these arguments are useless and divisive.
• Titus 3:9 (NIV): “But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and arguments and quarrels about the law, because these are unprofitable and useless.”
• Titus 3:10 (NIV): “Warn a divisive person once, and then warn them a second time. After that, have nothing to do with them.”
Paul is instructing Titus not to allow legalistic arguments to disrupt the church, especially those arguments about the Mosaic law that have been rendered obsolete by the New Covenant in Christ.
Conclusion and Application
In the Book of Titus, Paul emphasizes that grace through faith in Jesus Christ is the source of salvation and righteousness, not legalism or adherence to the law (including the Sabbath). He warns Titus to rebuke those who teach false doctrines that insist on legalistic observance of the law as necessary for salvation.

Paul wrote Romans to explain how God’s grace works through faith in Christ, rather than relying on legalism or the Mosaic law, which includes observances like the Sabbath.
1. Romans 1-3: Humanity’s Sin and God’s Righteousness
• Key Message: All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
• Romans 3:23-24 (NIV): “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.”
Paul begins by showing that both Jews and Gentiles are guilty before God. He teaches that no one can be justified (declared righteous) by keeping the law because everyone has broken it. Whether Jew or Gentile, we all need God’s grace through faith in Jesus Christ to be saved.
• SDA Context: SDAs emphasize keeping the Sabbath as a sign of faithfulness to God, but Paul is making it clear that no law (including the Sabbath) can justify us. We are all guilty and cannot keep the law perfectly.
2. Romans 4: Justification by Faith, Not by Works of the Law
• Key Message: Abraham was justified by faith, not by works.
• Romans 4:3 (NIV): “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”
Paul points to Abraham, the father of the faith, as an example. Abraham was declared righteous before the law (including the Sabbath) was even given. He was justified because he trusted God, not because of his works.
• SDA Context: This chapter is crucial for understanding that faith in God, not the observance of specific laws like the Sabbath, is what makes someone righteous. Keeping the Sabbath, while important, is not what justifies a person in God’s eyes.
3. Romans 5-6: Freedom from Sin and the Law through Christ
• Key Message: Christ’s death brings freedom from sin and the law.
• Romans 6:14 (NIV): “For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace.”
Paul explains that through Jesus’ death and resurrection, believers are freed from the power of sin and the law. When we put our faith in Christ, we are no longer bound by the law’s requirements for righteousness, including Sabbath-keeping. Instead, we live under grace, where God empowers us to live holy lives through the Holy Spirit.
• SDA Context: SDAs often view the Sabbath as central to their identity as believers. However, Paul makes the case that our relationship with God is not based on observances of the law but on the freedom found in Christ.
4. Romans 7: The Law’s Purpose and Its Limitations
• Key Message: The law is good, but it can’t save us-it only reveals sin.
• Romans 7:7 (NIV): “What shall we say, then? Is the law sinful? Certainly not! Nevertheless, I would not have known what sin was had it not been for the law.”
Here, Paul explains that the law (including the Ten Commandments) is good because it reveals sin. However, the law is powerless to save us-it can only show us how far we fall short of God’s standard. Paul describes the inner struggle of trying to keep the law and realizing that it only brings condemnation because no one can keep it perfectly.
• SDA Context: While SDAs emphasize the importance of keeping the Sabbath as part of the law, Paul is clear that the law can’t bring salvation. Its purpose is to point out our need for a Savior, which is Jesus Christ.
5. Romans 8: Life in the Spirit, Not the Law
• Key Message: We are not condemned if we are in Christ, and we live by the Spirit, not by the law.
• Romans 8:1-2 (NIV): “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death.”
In Romans 8, Paul explains that Jesus has set believers free from the law of sin and death. The Holy Spirit now empowers believers to live lives that please God, not by following the letter of the law, but by walking in the Spirit. The law (including the Sabbath) was a shadow pointing to the reality of what Christ would do for us.
• SDA Context: This chapter challenges the SDA focus on the Sabbath as a central mark of faithfulness. Paul teaches that true life in Christ is lived through the Spirit, not through observance of the law.
6. Romans 9-11: God’s Plan for Jews and Gentiles
• Key Message: Salvation is for both Jews and Gentiles, and it is by faith, not the law.
• Romans 9:30-32 (NIV): “The Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith; but the people of Israel, who pursued the law as the way of righteousness, have not attained their goal.”
Paul explains that Gentiles are included in God’s plan of salvation because they pursued righteousness by faith, not by keeping the law. The Jews, who tried to achieve righteousness through the law, missed the point of what the law was pointing to-Christ.
• SDA Context: While SDAs often emphasize law-keeping (especially the Sabbath) as central to their faith, Paul makes it clear that righteousness comes through faith, not by following the law.
7. Romans 12-16: Living as Christians in the World
• Key Message: Faith in Christ transforms our lives, and we are called to live out that faith in practical ways.
• Romans 12:1-2 (NIV): “Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God-this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”
In the final chapters, Paul provides practical instruction on how to live as Christians, transformed by grace and empowered by the Holy Spirit. He emphasizes love, humility, and service to others.
• SDA Context: While living a holy life is essential, Paul emphasizes that this comes from a heart transformed by grace, not from legalistic observance of the law.
Conclusion:
Romans teaches that salvation and righteousness come through faith in Christ, not through keeping the law, including Sabbath observance. The law serves to show us our need for a Savior, but it cannot save us. Through Jesus, believers are freed from the requirements of the law and are called to live in the Spirit, which is the fulfillment of what the Sabbath and the law pointed to. This message directly challenges the SDA emphasis on Sabbath-keeping as a central mark of faithfulness.
