What place do the biblical festivals have in Christian faith?
 
The Biblical Festivals for Christians: An Introduction is a clear, Scripture-based teaching booklet that explains the origin, meaning, and purpose of the festivals appointed by God in the Bible, and considers their relevance for Christians today.
 
Rather than presenting the festivals as cultural relics or as requirements for salvation, this booklet explores them as part of God’s unfolding plan, revealed across both the Old and New Testaments and fulfilled in Jesus Christ. Each festival is introduced in its biblical context, showing how it points to Christ, redemption, and the Kingdom of God.
 
This is not a sermon and not a call to legalism. It is an informational resource written for Christians who want to understand what Scripture actually teaches about the festivals, without pressure or polemic.
 
Alongside careful biblical explanation, the booklet extends a warm invitation. For those who, through study and conviction, feel drawn to honour God and Jesus Christ by observing the festivals, they are presented as opportunities for worship, remembrance, and gratitude — not as commands that define Christian identity.
 
Readers are not told they must observe the festivals to be faithful Christians. Instead, the booklet invites reflection, study, and freedom of conscience, allowing Scripture to speak for itself.
 
This introduction is designed for Christians seeking clarity, understanding, and a deeper appreciation of God’s redemptive work in Christ.
