Colossians 2:16-19

Therefore let no one sit in judgment on you in matters of food and drink, or with regard to a feast day or a New Moon or a Sabbath. Such [things] are only the shadow of things that are to come, and they have only a symbolic value. But the reality (the substance, the solid fact of what is foreshadowed, the body of it) belongs to Christ. Colossians 2:16-17

Did our Father just tell us that the Sabbath only has a symbolic value? Wow, I know several people that would think that I was a complete heretic for saying such a thing. But it is right there in Colossians 2.  Jesus told the Scribes that man was not made for the Sabbath, but the Sabbath was made for man. Far too many religious people get all caught up in fleshly things like one day being better than another day. None of those kind of things matter, the only thing that matters is Love. Love is the only thing that covers a multitude of sin. Love is never jealous, it isn’t mean, it’s forgiving, it’s kind, gentle, and Love is eternal. Love doesn’t display itself arrogantly. 

Love endures long and is patient and kind; love never is envious nor boils over with jealousy, is not boastful or vainglorious, does not display itself haughtily.1 Corinthians 13:4

For the Bride of Christ, Love is just in us, we can’t help but to love. We can’t help but to Love because Jesus and His Love constantly remain in us. 

I have made Your Name known to them and revealed Your character and Your very Self, and I will continue to make [You] known, that the love which You have bestowed upon Me may be in them [felt in their hearts] and that I [Myself] may be in them. John 17:26

Let no one defraud you by acting as an umpire and declaring you unworthy and disqualifying you for the prize, insisting on self-abasement and worship of angels, taking his stand on visions [he claims] he has seen, vainly puffed up by his sensuous notions and inflated by his unspiritual thoughts and fleshly conceit, And not holding fast to the Head, from Whom the entire body, supplied and knit together by means of its joints and ligaments, grows with a growth that is from God. Colossians 2:18-19

How many people are being told that they are disqualified because they do not go to church on Sunday? How many people are told that they are going to Hell because they do not belong to a man made denomination? These things are of the flesh and they puff us up. You want to know if someone is actually one with Christ, look at their fruit. Look to see if a person is filled with Love, do they intercede even for those who seem to be the worst? Are they gentle, kind, forbearing, patient, and long suffering? These are the signs of a Bride of Christ. If a person is constantly talking about how they go to Church, how they tithe, how they pray, or how they serve watch out. You need to watch out for these kind of people because love does not draw attention towards self, true love directs attention towards God.

So that your deeds of charity may be in secret; and your Father Who sees in secret will reward you openly. Matthew 6:4

But when you pray, go into your [most] private room, and, closing the door, pray to your Father, Who is in secret; and your Father, Who sees in secret, will reward you in the open. Matthew 6:6

So stop worrying about people who judge you. They judged Jesus like crazy, so what should we expect? Do not be defrauded by people who want to place all kinds of rules on us. We can rest assured that Love will always be greater in us than anything, including ourselves, that is in this world. Love will lead us into the paths of righteousness. Love will prune out of us all that needs pruning. Love will never leave us or forsake us. Rules do not and will not keep Love in us. Love isn't the laving kind, He stays with us, even at our worst.
