Title: Sabbath and Salvation 

Texts: Genesis 2:1-3; Exodus 20:8-11; Deuteronomy 12:12-15; Colossians 2:16-17

Chris Hefner

1. Two Reasons for the Sabbath Command 
1. Creation 
1. God designed us for the 7 day rhythm of work and rest/worship. 
2. God’s best for us is Himself, not our work. 
2. Redemption 
1. Through redemption we are slaves to God who gives us command (permission) to rest. 
2. It is God’s work that redeems, not our own labors. 
2. Two Categories for Understanding the Sabbath Today 
1. Time: the distinction between chronos and Kairos 
2. The LORD’s Day as Sabbath fulfilled in Jesus Christ 
3. Four Non-Legalistic Ways to rest/worship on the LORD’s Day 
1. Keep the LORD’s Day as a day of worship and rest. 
2. Pause normal working practices on the LORD’s Day. 
3. Do what brings life on the LORD’s Day. 
4. Take a digital Sabbath.
