Part 5The Law of SabbathGod commanded them to keep the Sabbath holy, and refrain from any work.
The Sabbath is the only law that is a-moral, meaning that there's no moral implication whether they work or not on the Sabbath.
So what is the meaning of the Sabbath for Christians?
You will remember that when God finished creation in 6 days, He rested (ceased) on the 7th, and blessed it. The Sabbath has its meaning tied to creation.
When God created the earth and everything in it, He declared them good. Everything was perfect in Eden. Adam didn't have to work before he fell into sin. He could just pick any fruit in the garden to eat.
Right after he sinned, he plunged the whole creation into sin. God cursed the land because of it, and He decreed that all men will have to work and toil the ground for food. Nothing is perfect since then. Paradise was lost by Adam.
The Sabbath was instituted in the Mosaic covenant as a promise that when the Messiah comes to establish the new covenant, everyone will find rest from the works of the law in Him.
The other fulfilment of the ultimate rest in Christ is that after He is done with sin, He will restore Paradise to the world.
All the passages of the prophets about desert will bloom (Isa 35), Isaiah 11, Romans 8, Revelation 22, etc points to this restoration by Christ when He comes the second time.
This is to reverse the curse of sin back in Genesis, and we can ultimately rest from all works and in Him. That is why Jesus is called the Second Adam. He came to do what Adam could not.
You are so wrong on the second Adam part. It's so funny.
But I will not even bother explaining to you. You probably cannot understand spiritual things because of your blindness.
Do you even understand what is the meaning of being born again? Yeah that's the clue on the second Adam. But you probably still will not get it.
The way you read the Bible is probably how the atheist read it anyway.
1 Corinthians 15
20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
See. But then even after you have been proven wrong. You probably still will not repent. Because that's your nature.
Wonder why Satan still continue in his ways even though he knows his time is short? I have given you the clue here.
Lost people always never get it.
You even get rest wrong. But then reprobates like you do not fear God. Maybe another clue. What is the meaning of resting in God?
Hebrews 4
1 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
3 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
4 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.
5 And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.
6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:
7 Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.
9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
See. Your whole post is rubbish.
