When John said he was in the spirit on the Lord’s Day, we don’t have to think very long about what day he was referring to (Revelation 1:10). In other words, Sunday is not just another day of the week for us to try and satisfy our insatiable appetite for worldly things. We have six other days to do that. Sunday is the “Lord’s Day.”

Remember, in order to be saved and enjoy all God’s blessings (not the least of which is salvation), a person must have faith (Jn. 8:24), be willing to repent (Lk. 13:3), and after confessing Christ as Lord, the final step is water baptism (Rom. 6:3; 1 Cor. 12:13; 1 Pet. 3:20-21). Bible baptism is by immersion only (“burial,” Rom. 6:4), and once it is done, heaven puts that person “into Christ” (Gal. 3:27; Rom. 6:3). After proper baptism a person has their sins forgiven (Acts 2:38).
