Why do Christians worship on Sunday? | GotQuestions.org

According to the Bible, what is the right day to gather for church? Some say, Saturday, others say Sunday. What does the Bible say about it?

I worship Christ everyday ! Sundays are just the day that I do it with fellow believers.

We don’t worship on Sunday, everyday is worship we meet on Sunday to encourage one another and give praise to god.

Apostle paul said in Romans “One person regards one day above another, another regards every day alike. Each person must be fully convinced in his own mind. He who observes the day, observes it for the Lord, and he who eats, does so for the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who eats not, for the Lord he does not eat, and gives thanks to God. For not one of us lives for himself, and not one dies for himself; for if we live, we live for the Lord, or if we die, we die for the Lord; therefore whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭14‬:‭5‬-‭8‬

John 4:23-24 NIV
23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24 God is spirit,  and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.” ❤❤❤

I've seen people make the false claim that somehow going to church on Sunday is replacing the Sabbath when it's completely different.

[newcreationinchrist]

I agree with the ones saying every day we worship God. That's true! When we come together as believers we do it on Sunday but every day belongs to the Lord 🙏🙏🙏 God bless GQ

one of His Commandments is to remember His Sabbath...John 15:10
"If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.".. John 14:15
"if you love Me, keep My commandments."...you decide

[AngelaCelest]

Worshipping on Sunday is breaking the Fourth Commandment. REMEMBER (which means not to forget) to keep Holy the Lord's Day. Holy as in worship to the Holy One.

I don't I worship him everyday I Thank him everyday I thank him in the morning and I thank him when I go to sleep for everything

[mslikenootha]

The most important part of this is REST/WORSHIP in the Lord DAILY don’t fuss over the minor details.

[tiltpwnz]

but everyday you cannot keep holy this is why God sent one day aside for those that truly love him to keep holy and worship him that is the 7th Sabbath

Sunday nor Saturday was not set aside by the apostles for worship.
Religion of churches began this practice with many other by laws.

[LoCoWi]

As a christian who uses sunday for worship, my arguement to sabbatarians who judge me by saying that "sunday worship isn't commanded in scripture, therefore you're breaking the sabbath", my responses are;
1. Jesus observed the Hanukkah (Festival of Dedication) in John 10:22, the only festival/memorial not commanded by God in the Torah....meaning this festival is a tradition of man, but Jesus observed it.
2. The disciples worshipped Jesus on the resurrection day in Matt. 28:8-9 and were never met with judgement or correction by Jesus, but their worship (on this non-sabbath day) was fully accepted by Jesus.

The video made a incorrect claim. Scripture actually does mention Saturday as the Sabbath. Sabbath is written as begining from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday. The names of days are not spoken of, buy they are numbered like the 7th day. Considering ancient Hebrew used basically the same Calander to identify weekly days as is still used today, we can determine the 7th day is Saturday and the 6th day is Friday and the 1st day is Sunday.

The practice of gathering on a Sunday was due to a political compromise. In Ancient Rome, Christianity was illegal before Constantine and Christians were persecuted. Many died for their faith.

Constantine came along as Emperor and early in gis life he was still aligned with Rome's Pagan traditions. By his day, Christianity has spread vastly throughout the empire, including to his own mother. He identified a political advantage to not only stop their persecution, but sanction Christianity.

But the empire was still mixed between Pagans and Christians. In order for Christianity to gain it's legality under Roman law, a compromise was made in a deal negotiated at the Council Of Nicea. They would move the sabbath to Sunday, under the pretext that it was the day Jesus was ressurected, but the truth is that the Pagan traditions of the Roman empire had influenced that decision as well because Sunday was the day Roman Pagans dedicated to their so called "sun god" where they worshiped the sun.

The Sabbath being moved to Sunday was influenced by politics and pagans. Saturday is and has always been the real Sabbath day. (Friday @ dusk to Saturday @ dusk).

Luke 6:46-49  (ESV)“Why do you call me 'Lord, Lord, ' and not do what I tell you? Everyone who comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show you what he is like: he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. James 1:22-25 KJV But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: for he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. ❤❤❤

[billrundell]

The apostles never used Saturday nor Sunday as a worship day.
The OT laws of worship do not apply to the Church.
Christians are allowed to gather on any day or night of the week for worship.
Sundays are not declared anywhere in scriptures for worship.

Isaiah 56:6-7, “Also the foreigners who join themselves to the LORD, To attend to His service and to love the name of the LORD, To be His servants, every one who keeps the Sabbath so as not to profane it, And holds firmly to My covenant; Even those I will bring to My holy mountain, And make them joyful in My house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be acceptable on My altar; For My house will be called a house of prayer for all the peoples.”
In all my study I have yet to find a verse in New or Old Testament that changes the sabbath from Saturday to Sunday.

Really like your channel! But you guys should really post much more interesting questions: who created God, was there a preadamic race, was the earth created in 6 literal days and so on

The Jewish believers in the first century would meet with other Jews on the Sabbath as their traditions required, and to take opportunity to preach the gospel among the Jews; but the Gentiles believers were not going to be there because they were not circumcised in the flesh. So the believers would all meet together on Sunday for fellowship between Jewish and Gentile believers. Some traditions get started for very practical reasons.

We no longer have to bring sacrifices for our sins every day so we may have our sins mitigated. That is Sabbath times seven, as it says in Hebrews.

Very informative! Does anyone know why Seventh-day Adventists view Saturday as the sabbath/church service day?
