So is the Sabbath to be taken literal today or symbolic of resting in His grace?
SANCTIFICATION of the Sabbath:
You keep it literally on the path of your Sanctification. For God is our example-& you do as He did.... And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. Genesis 2:3 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work,....For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. Exodus 20:10,11
JUSTIFICATION of the Sabbath:
You are to also spiritually rest in His Grace of the Sabbath. He completed the works to save you. But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work,...And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the LORD thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the LORD thy God commanded thee to keep the Sabbath day. Deuteronomy 5:14,15
In Summary:
For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise,
And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.
And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.
Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein,
and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:
For if Jesus had given them rest,
then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.
There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
For he that is entered into his rest,
he also hath ceased from his own works,
as God did from his.
Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest,
lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
Hebrews 4:4-6,8-11
