A Matter of Obedience

Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men. Acts 5:29

“Natural affection for relatives and friends should not lead any soul who sees the light to reject the light, to dishonor God. … Every possible excuse for disobedience will be framed by men who choose, as many did in Christ’s day, the favor of men rather than the favor of God. The soul that has had light in regard to the Lord’s Sabbath, His memorial of creation, and to save himself from inconvenience and reproach has chosen to remain disloyal, has sold his Lord. He has dishonored the name of Christ.”

—Selected Messages (Book 3), p. 401

Sabbath Tip
Many people have faced the temptation to go along with others even when their choices don’t honor God’s law. It can be tough to stand for what is right—and we can’t do it alone. But Jesus’ strength is perfected in our weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9) when we keep our trust anchored in Him.
