Keep the Sabbath Day Holy
By attending The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, you can learn about God’s plan for you, receive necessary ordinances, such as baptism, and obtain the spiritual guidance you need to be happy in life and return to live with your Heavenly Father.
Your Sabbath day behavior is a reflection of your commitment to honor and worship God. By keeping the Sabbath day holy and going to the Lord’s house to worship Him, you demonstrate your willingness to keep your covenants with God. While there, you can partake of the sacrament to remember Jesus Christ and His Atonement, thereby renewing your covenants and showing that you are willing to repent of your sins and mistakes. On Sunday, you can enjoy a rest from your labors and can be renewed by your association with friends and family.
When a community or nation grows careless in its Sabbath activities, its religious life decays, all aspects of life are negatively affected, and the blessings associated with keeping the Sabbath day holy are lost. You should refrain from shopping or participating in other commercial and sporting activities that now commonly desecrate the Sabbath. As you endeavor to make your Sabbath activities compatible with the intent and Spirit of the Lord, your life will be filled with joy and peace.
