Some false prophets will say that, why you christians go to church on Sunday to worship God, whereas you should go on Sabbath day (Saturday) like all Jewish went on ancient times.
Here there are 21 reasons for the significance of the first day of the week (Sunday) in the New Testament for all Christians:
1. Jesus rose on the first day of the week not the Sabbath Day. (Easter/Resurrection) Mark 16:9
2. All 6 appearances of Jesus after His resurrection, was happen on two Sundays, none on Sabbath Day. (God's Vision)
(1) Mark 16:9;
(2) Matthew 28:5-9;
(3) Luke 24:34;
(4) Luke 24:13-15;
(5) Luke 24:33,36 + John 20:19;
(6) John 20:26
3. Christians are recorded assembling three times on Sunday after resurrection and before ascension, never on the Sabbath Day. (Group Prayer Assembled) (1) John 20:19; (2) John 20:26; (3) Acts 2:1
4. The only time Christians are recorded to have assembled together was on a Sunday in Acts 20:7, never does it say the disciples also assembled on the Sabbath Day. (Preaching God's Word) 5. And the only day ever mentioned when Christians broke bread was on Sunday. (Eating Passover Bread) Acts 20:7 6. Christians are commanded every Sunday to give into a common treasury of the church. (Offering / Tithe) 1 Corinthians 16:1-2 7. Jesus was declared the Son of God on Sunday. (Declaration/Promotion from Son-of-man) Romans 1:4 8. According to Psalms 2:7 The Father says about Jesus "Today I have begotten thee" was fulfilled on Sunday when he rose. (Victory/Fulfillment) Acts 13:33 9. The sign that Jesus was glorified was given on Sunday, that we are the witness. (Giving Witness) John 7:39 + Acts 2:1,32. 10. The church officially began on Pentecost Sunday not on Sabbath. (First Church After Resurrection) Acts 2:1 11. Jesus was crowned king on a Sunday. (King of Kings) Acts 2:33-36 12. The disciples reception of the promise of the Father on Sunday. (Taking Promises) Acts 1:4-5; 2:1-4 13. The Holy Spirit first fell upon the apostles on a Sunday. (Achieving Holy Spirit) Acts 2:1-4 14. Salvation first preached by Peter on Sunday. (Salvation/Baptism)
Acts 2:1,38,40-41. 15. The Keys to the Kingdom of God were first used on Sunday. (Secret Treasure) Matthew 16:19. 16. The great "Triumphal entry" (also called "Palm Sunday") happened on the first day. (Perfection of Christianity) Luke 13:32 17. The time between the Lord's resurrection (sheaf waving day) and Pentecost was Sunday to Sunday counting of 50 days. The starting and stopping time was on the 1st day. 18. First time Jesus worshiped after resurrection was on the first day by Thomas. (Worshipping Lord) John. 20:26 19. The first time we could be born again to a living hope was on a Sunday. (New Creation) 1 Peter 1:3 20. The first time Jesus had communion after his resurrection with His disciples, was on a Sunday. (God's Communion) Luke. 24:1, 13, 28-35. 21. Pentecost was a Sunday - Sunday duration of 50 days. The starting point and stopping point of counting the 50 days was a Sunday - Sunday period!
While the Sabbath was significant to the Jews, there is no New Testament significance of the Sabbath in connection with anything of Christ, Christianity, the church or heaven!
Remember always, We're Christians not Jewish, We follow Christ & His way. Be Blessed In Christ. Amen!
