Keeping the Sabbath Commandment

 

Sabbath-keeping is a memorial to God’s creation power and the fact

that He could do it in seven days. It is His seal as the Creator and the

Lawgiver. It should be kept in honor to the creator and our Savior and

as a token or rest from our own works in honor of His works, one of

the greatest of which is the creative work and power of restoring

sinful man back into the image of God. And finally, the Sabbath

will be a test of man’s fidelity to God rather than Satan and

his counterfeit of the Holy and Sanctified Sabbath day.
