02 10 Genesis 2.1-3 On the seventh day, God rested. Not that He was tired, but because His work was complete. It was called the Sabbath, a day distinct from the other six days of the creation week. On this day He did no work. It was a day He blessed and made holy. It was a pattern for our week – to work six and have a day of rest. The Sabbath was given to Israel as part of the law, it was part of the covenant God made with them and it was a reminder of their deliverance from Egypt. Are Christians obligated to keep the Sabbath? Is Sunday the Christian Sabbath? Is it a sin to work on Sunday? We look at Scripture in both the Old and New Testament to answer these questions.
