Why do we worship on Sunday instead of Saturday?

The day of your worship is not a problem, as long as you worship rightly. Is there any day that God becomes deaf and blind to your worship?

From creation onward, the people of God worshiped on the seventh day of the week.

This was a “creation ordinance” that the Creator Himself established by His example, with the intent that His creatures would follow it.
He worked six days and called His image-bearers to work (Gen. 2:15); He rested on the seventh day (Gen. 2:2; Ex. 20:11; 31:17) and called His image-bearers to rest.

He signified this with His benediction, setting apart the seventh day as “holy” (Gen. 2:3).


When Jesus rose from the dead on the first day of the week, things changed. Because of that pivotal event, the church determined that for Christians under the new covenant, the day of worship and celebration of the Lord’s grace in Jesus Christ was to be the first day of the week, Sunday:

You're indirectly saying the fourth commandment does not matter?

The question is why do worship on Sunday instead of Saturday?

Why do you care about only Saturday in your question? What of other days of the week?

Does the 4th commandment say some days are wrong for worship?

Can you celebrate your birthday on any day?

The Bible says Remember the Sabbath day.
That day was set side for a purpose.
If you choose another day, you're disobeying God

Answer my question. Does the 4th commandment say some days are wrong for worship? I can celebrate my birthday any day without changing my birth date.

Stop beating around the bush. You asked if I can celebrate my birthday on a date different from my date of birth, I answered the question. Answer my own question. Does the 4th commandment say some days are wrong for worship?

Why do the majority of Christians worship on Sunday instead of other days?

They choose Sunday and no part of the Bible condemns their choice of day. Why do you care about Saturday but not about other days?

By "we" I presume you mean Christians? Actually Christians don't worship on Sundays; we worship God every day. That Sunday Sunday stuff is majorly religious rituals.

Good question.

You need to understand that, Christ is the focal point of the Law, the very One who consummates the Law as he brings it to its completion and fulfillment.

That is the reason the scripture says "For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes." Romans 10:4

Since Christ became End of the Law, "Therefore the Law has become our tutor to lead us to Christ, so that we may be justified by faith." Galatians 3:24

In foregoing, you'll see the view of the New Testament writers that the Hebrew Scriptures were deliberately designed by God to foreshadow Christ and his Church. The OT Scriptures contained shadows, types, analogies, and copies of spiritual realities that awaited the coming of Christ. OT peoples, places, events and things were deliberately designed to be copies of a far greater spiritual reality, with Christ manifesting that reality through his fulfillment of it.

This was clearly stated in the scripture "Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath. These are a shadow of the things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ." Colossians 2:16-17

Example of Christ consummation in the Bible is the Sabbath Day. See how NT writer put it in Hebrew 4.

[b]"Therefore, while the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us fear lest any of you should seem to have failed to reach it. For the Gospel came to us just as to them, but the message they heard did not benefit them, because they were not united by faith with those who listened. For we who have believed enter that rest, as he has said, As I swore in my wrath, They shall not enter my rest, although his works were finished from the foundation of the world. For he has somewhere spoken of the seventh day in this way: And God rested on the seventh day from all his works. And again in this passage he said, They shall not enter my rest. Since therefore it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly received the Gospel failed to enter because of disobedience, again he appoints a certain day, Today, saying through David so long afterward, in the words already quoted, Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts. For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken of another day later on. So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God, for whoever HAS ENTERED GOD'S REST has also rested from his works as God did from his. Let us therefore strive to enter that rest, so that no one may fall by the same sort of disobedience." Hebrews 4:1-11[/b]

As you can see, Sabbath Day is a shadow of the reality of Christ coming to give God's people eternal rest.

That's why Christ Himself said, "And he said to them, ‘The sabbath was made for man, not man for the sabbath; so the Son of man is lord even of the sabbath.’" Mark 2:27-28
