How serious was the Lord about these feasts? Israel’s continued wellbeing in the land depended as much on her faithful observance of these feasts as on her obedience to the moral, civil, and spiritual aspects of the Law. Keeping these feast days holy – both in form and participation – was to be a high priority for the people of God.

If we are to have feasts and holy days as the followers of Christ – and I believe we should – then we must keep them holy just as we do the Lord’s Day. The wellbeing of our nation could be at stake.

T. M. Moore

The Law of God is the soil which, fertilized by the rest of God’s Word and watered by His Spirit, brings forth the fruit of Christian life. If you’d like to understand this process better, and how to make best use of the Law in your walk with and work for the Lord, order the book, The Ground for Christian Ethics, from our online store.
