Sabbath 101
Preparing for Eternity Part 6
Most everyone has an opinion about the Sabbath. Some people associate it with Saturday, others a day of rest. It was God that set forth the idea that man should work six days and rest on the seventh and the Sabbath was important enough that He included it among the Ten Commandments.
The only problem is that we don’t know the original days dating back to the Garden of Eden since there have been many calendars over the years. Nevertheless, the concept remains the same even if we don’t know the exact day for the original Sabbath. Work six days and rest on the seventh. God has not specified a particular day of the week and this standard works for everyone regardless of the calendar they follow.
The Sabbath is supposed to be a day of rest, worship, fellowship with believers and a time to reach out to the lost. It is not a day to conduct business, work around the house or go shopping since all these things can be done throughout the week. God never intended for us to argue over a specific day of the week; instead, He wants us united in love and respecting one another regardless of the day you observe. There is no limit with God as you learn and grow. How far will you choose to go?
