The Sabbath
Quick answer
The seventh-day rest rooted in creation (Gen 2) and the Ten Commandments — a rhythm of rest, worship, and trust that God, not our work, sustains us.
Overview
God's own rest on the seventh day patterns Israel's Sabbath: a weekly cease from work as worship and trust. The New Testament sees a deeper rest fulfilled in Christ (Heb 4) and debates how the Sabbath applies — another point where traditions differ.
Where it appears
- Genesis 2:3
God blessed the seventh day, and made it holy, because he rested in it from all his work of creation which he had done.
God's rest crowns creation and patterns the Sabbath.
