Not to this and not do that, isn’t a way to be a Christian. But men have all these rules and regulations. Well, God has some rules and regulations – how about the Ten Commandments. We find that Paul, in the dispensation of the Mystery, repeating all those as for today with the exception of one. In Colossians 2:16 there is one of them mentioned that we have no business of observing today, that’s sabbaths, they were a part of Israel’s covenant. And these folks that make a lot of sabbaths never realize, as far as the Bible is concerned, that man never knew about sabbaths until it was revealed to Moses, and he revealed it to the People of Israel. His book wasn’t written until then, and unless there was some special knowledge given to man, revealed to him back in those early times, he knew nothing about it, and there’s no record that they did know.

Acts 28:28

“Known therefore be it to you, that to the nations is sent the salvation of God; and they will hear” (Stevens Interlinear).

And from that point of time, people, both Jews and Gentiles, came to Paul’s hired house and heard the gospel of their salvation. Very shortly after, this salvation was expressed in a letter to the Ephesians. So then, we know what that salvation was that was sent to the Gentiles. It is thus; “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is a gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them” (Eph. 2:8-10).
