Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Luke 9:23-26 (KJV)
9:23 And he said to [them] all, If any [man] will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. 
9:24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. 
9:25 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away? 
9:26 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and [in his] Father’s, and of the holy angels.

24:5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 
24:6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all [these things] must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 
24:7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 
24:8 All these [are] the beginning of sorrows. 
24:9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake. 
24:10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 
24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 
24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 
24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. 
24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

Sunday sanctification are not biblical, it’s human tradition.


A Church Father, Eusebius, who became the bishop of Caesarea Maritima about AD 314, stated that for Christians, "the sabbath had been transferred to Sunday".

Sunday was another work day in the Roman Empire. On March 7, 321, however, Roman Emperor Constantine I issued a civil decree making Sunday a day of rest from labor, stating:
All judges and city people and the craftsmen shall rest upon the venerable day of the sun. Country people, however, may freely attend to the cultivation of the fields, because it frequently happens that no other days are better adapted for planting the grain in the furrows or the vines in trenches. So that the advantage given by heavenly providence may not for the occasion of a short time perish.

The Church, on the other hand, after changing the day of rest from the Jewish Sabbath, or seventh day of the week, to the first, made the Third Commandment refer to Sunday as the day to be kept holy as the Lord's Day.

The Council of Trent (Sess. VI, can. xix) condems those who deny that the Ten Commandments are binding on Christians.
