God, Remember, Rest, Sabbath, Seventh day, Spirituality

Throughout the Bible, the seventh day is featured as something special, significant, and a day to be remembered. It’s worth seven thoughts.

4. The idea that the seventh day is only for the Jews is defeated by the prophet Isaiah who makes it the centerpiece of inclusion (Isaiah 56:1-8).

Love = Gospel

I was cleaning out my notes and I found this. It’s too brilliant to be mine but I have lost the reference.

The central defining truth of the believer is that in Christ God ascribed unsurpassable worth to us, though we did not deserve it. Hence, the central defining mark of disciples of Christ is that they in turn ascribe unconditional worth to themselves and all others, knowing that Christ died for them as well. “We know love by this, that he laid down his life for us—and we ought to lay down our lives for one another” (1 John 3:16)
The thing that more than anything else demonstrates the reality of the loving, triune God is that we embody the reality of the triune God in our relationships with one another and with the world. Nothing less than the credibility of the gospel, the reputation of God, and the salvation of people hangs on our fulfilling the commandment to love.

Throughout the Bible, the seventh day is featured as something special, significant, and a day to be remembered. It’s worth seven thoughts.

3. In the testimony of the seventh day, Exodus 20:8-11, the essential point is imitation of the Creator; as he rested we too must rest. It goes even further: as he rested, we too must rest, and we are to bring that same rest to others. A sabbath keeper is thus enjoined to manifest God’s ways in human relationships.

Throughout the Bible, the seventh day is featured as something special, significant, and a day to be remembered. It’s worth seven thoughts.

2. The seventh day tells of the importance of human beings to a personal God; it’s primary message is not of duty but divine commitment. Jesus said, “The Sabbath was made to meet the needs of people, and not people to meet the requirements of the Sabbath.” Mark 2:27 NLT

Throughout the Bible, the seventh day is featured as something special, significant, and a day to be remembered. It’s worth seven thoughts.

1. God is the primary subject of the seventh day. We tend to make most spiritual things about us which is why we often stall out in our journey. The seventh day points us to a Creator, Savior and Re-creator; the only one who meets us where we are and takes us where we cannot go on our own.
