works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ
Jesus before the world began,

5. A Sign of the Creator
Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to
the LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put
to death.Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath
throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant. It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days
the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was
refreshed.
Exodus 31:15-17
6. A Sign of the Saviour
Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that
