THE LORD’S DAY  

Revelation 1:10 KJV

I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day…

Many Christians use Revelation 1:10 to defend worshipping God on Sunday.  However, the Bible does not state that the Lord’s day is Sunday. The Bible states what day the Lord’s day is.  There is no need to guess or assume.  One just needs to take the time to study what the Bible has to say.

2 Timothy 2:15 KJV states, “study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth”.

When Jesus was on earth, he let the people know what day the Lord’s day was -

Matthew 12:8 (KJV)

For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.

Mark 2:28 (KJV)

Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.

Luke 6:5 (KJV)

And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.

The Sabbath is the Lord’s day, it was the Lord that gave the sabbath to rest and worship on.  It is holy unto the Lord. It is the sabbath of the Lord not the Jews.

Exodus 16:23 (KJV)

And he said unto them, This is that which the Lord hath said, To morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the Lord:

Exodus 16:25 (KJV)

And Moses said, Eat that to day; for to day is a sabbath unto the Lord:

Exodus 16:29 (KJV)

See, for that the Lord hath given you the sabbath.

Exodus 31:15 (KJV)

Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord:

Exodus 35:2 (KJV)

2 Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the Lord:

Leviticus 19:30 (KJV)

30 Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the Lord.

Deuteronomy 5:14 (KJV)

14 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God:

The Lord’s day or 7th day Sabbath is one of the 10 commandments.  It is the 4th commandment.

One of the first 4 commandments that show love to God.

Exodus 20:11 (KJV)

For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

Let us be mindful of the following warning that Jesus gave us.

Mark 7:7 KJV

Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

The Lord's Day being Sunday is based on men honoring the resurrection of Jesus on Sunday it is not based to a thus saith the Lord.  They also say that they worshipped on Sunday because they came together to breakbread on the 1st day of the week.  However 

The Lord's Day VS the Day of the Lord

The Lord's Day VS the Day of the Lord

According to the Bible, the Day of the Lord is not a day of worship, but a day of judgement and retribution, or when Christ comes again.  

Following are some verses that speak to this.
