Growing up a follower of Jesus Christ from a very young age, I wanted to know if I should observe the Sabbath on Saturday like some Christians and Jews do. I received a variety of generalized pastoral answers, yet was not satisfied. So I decided to dig into the Bible for myself. This book documents what the Holy Spirit has shown me.
I learned that the Sabbath is an eternal gift from God to mankind. It exists throughout the ages, extends into eternity, and is not limited to a single nation. Yet its blessings are reserved by God for a specific people, a holy people who receive God's holiness by faith.
Entering God's rest happens by placing our faith in God's word. Jesus brought Sabbath's final form into existence by establishing the new covenant. This allows His people to enter into His Sabbath of Rest by faith alone.
