Christian Sabbath

Which day is the Sabbath? Some Christians say that the Christian Sabbath is Sunday. Others say that the Christian Sabbath is Saturday. Further fuelling the confusion is the way in which the seventh day Sabbath vs Sunday issue is said to represent Old Covenant vs New Covenant or legalism vs grace. Ultimately the question that this presentation seeks to answer from the Bible is, Should we still keep the Sabbath? Is the Sabbath still important under the New Covenant / New Testament dispensation? Or is the seventh day Sabbath a symbol of Old Covenant / Old Testament legalism.

What does the Bible say about the Sabbath? Starting with the Sabbath and creation and moving through the Old Testament into the New Testament, we will explore whether we must keep the Sabbath to be saved and whether Jesus is our Sabbath rest. We will explore the relationship between the Sabbath and grace as well as the Sabbath and faith in Jesus.

Understanding the relationship between the Sabbath and salvation is an enriching experience that brings with it freedom and joy. The gospel and sabbath are not at odds with one another. Rightly understood, the Sabbath is an expression of the gospel.
