He lived in a locality where the other farmers near him were devout Sabbath keepers.
When October came and he harvested his crop, he found that he had even more in his barn than his neighbors. Meeting the Sabbath keeping minister on the street one day, he gloatingly mentioned this fact. The minister's only reply was: “God does not always make a full settlement in October.”
No better answer could have been given.
The faithful Sabbath keeper awaits the day of final judgment to receive his full reward for obedience to God, the Creator of the whole earth.

The faithful Sabbath keeper awaits the day of final judgment to receive his full reward for obedience to God, the Creator of the whole earth.
And likewise, the Sabbath violator must await that last great day of accounting in order to receive the final reward for his failure to obey the explicit command of God.
The violation of the law of God is sin, the Scriptures inform us (Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. John 3:4), and the wages of sin is death (For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. . 6:23)."
