Remember the Sabbath: A Call to Holiness
The Fourth Commandment
Exodus 20:8-11 (ESV)
Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor, and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male servant, or your female servant, or your livestock, or the sojourner who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.
The Meaning of Sabbath
To remember the Sabbath day is to cease from our daily toil. It is a day set apart for rest, worship, and fellowship with God. The Sabbath is a reminder of our dependence on God and a time to reflect on His creation.
