According to the laws if I break sabbath day it mean I’m a sinner forever each time I break it
Response:
No — not anymore under the New Covenant in Christ.
Under the Old Covenant, breaking the Sabbath was a serious sin (Exodus 31:14, Numbers 15:32–36), and any violation of the Law made you guilty (James 2:10).
Under the New Covenant:
- You are not under the law but under grace (Romans 6:14)
- Jesus is the true Sabbath rest (Hebrews 4:9–10)
- The Sabbath was a shadow — Christ is the reality (Colossians 2:16–17)
- You are declared righteous forever by faith in Jesus (Romans 3:20–24)

In the old
Response:
Yes — under the Old Covenant, breaking the Sabbath was very serious:
Exodus 31:14 – “Everyone who profanes it shall surely be put to death.”
James 2:10 – “For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.”
There was no forgiveness without the shedding of blood (Hebrews 9:22). Sin offerings were required — unless it was high-handed rebellion (Numbers 15:30–31), which had no sacrifice.

So God didn’t change. Christ died
Response:
Exactly — God did not change. But Christ died to fulfill the law and bring a better covenant:
- God never changes (Malachi 3:6, Hebrews 13:8)
- Jesus fulfilled the law (Matthew 5:17)
- Righteousness now comes by faith, not law (Romans 3:21–22)
- The Sabbath pointed to Christ (Colossians 2:16–17, Hebrews 4:9–10)
Now you are not judged by law, but justified by faith in Jesus (Galatians 2:16).

And if I break the sabbath I break all
Response:
Yes — under the Old Covenant, breaking the Sabbath meant breaking the entire law:
James 2:10 – “Whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.”
But if you are in Christ, you are not under the law (Romans 6:14). Christ is the end of the law for righteousness (Romans 10:4).
Conclusion: If you’re under law — yes, break one, break all. If you’re under grace — you’re not condemned (Romans 8:1).

And if I do that it mean I can never be holy if I reject Christ blood and say I’m holy because we have shifted Saturday to Sunday
Response:
Yes — if you reject Christ’s blood and say you are holy just because you keep Sunday instead of Saturday, then you are not holy before God.
- Rejecting Christ’s blood = rejecting God’s only way (Hebrews 10:29, 9:22)
- Shifting Sabbath does not make you holy (Galatians 4:10–11, Colossians 2:16–17)
- Only Christ makes you holy forever (Hebrews 10:10, 10:14)
“I am not holy because of what I do, or what day I keep. I am holy because Jesus shed His blood for me…”

So who punish us for sins and what does breaking the laws do to us
Response:
This is a deep and important question — let’s answer it biblically and clearly:
WHO PUNISHES SIN?
- Old Covenant: God punished sin directly (Deuteronomy 28, Numbers 15)
- New Covenant (in Christ): Jesus was punished in your place (Isaiah 53:5, Romans 8:1, Hebrews 10:14)
- Without Christ: God’s wrath remains (John 3:18, Romans 2:5)
WHAT DOES BREAKING THE LAW DO?
If not in Christ: You’re guilty, under wrath, and face judgment (Romans 2:5)
If in Christ:
- No condemnation (Romans 8:1)
- But sin can:
- Grieve the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 4:30)
- Give Satan a foothold (Ephesians 4:27)
- Weaken prayer confidence (1 John 3:21)
Summary: God does not punish believers — but there can be discipline, dryness, or spiritual weakness if we walk in sin.
So I walk in His Spirit, not to avoid punishment — but because I am already loved and holy in Christ.
