Christ and the early church kept all the Holy Days appointed by the one true God (Lk. 2:41-43; 22:1; Jn. 2:23; 4:45; 6:4; 7:8-14; 7:37; 12:12, 20; 13:1, 29); not doing so breaks the law, resulting in sin (1Jn. 3:4), which carries the consequence of being cut off from Israel (Ex. 12:15; Lev. 23:29-30; Ps. 37:9; Pr. 2:22; Nah. 1:15). These Holy Days are described by God as His appointed times (Lev. 23:1-2). They were designed and ordained by Him and picture His plan of salvation for mankind (i.e. Lev. 23:10-11; cf. 1Cor. 15:20, 23). The Holy Days were not given to one tribe alone, the Jews (Judah), but to all Israel (Lev. 23:2). This fact is more clearly understood since scripture has revealed that gentiles are grafted into spiritual Israel, the body of Christ (Ac. 15:12-17; Rom. 11:11-36). Many gentiles who sought to obey God during the time of the early church, realized that keeping these days was essential to their relationship with Him (Jn. 12:20). If we love God and the brethren, we will desire to gather together during the Festivals, New Moons and Sabbaths (Col. 2:16; 1Jn. 5:1-3; Heb. 10:25).
