Genesis 2:1 - 2:3
GenesisSteve Gregg
In Genesis 2:1-2, God rested on the seventh day after creating the world, symbolically demonstrating that he was finished with his work. This laid the foundation for the Sabbath day, which is discussed throughout the rest of the Bible. The Sabbath remains a symbol of resting in God's finished work, although there is no obligation for Christians to observe the Sabbath, as it is seen as a ceremonial law rather than a moral law. Christians are called to obey and follow the Lord's will every day, rather than being tied to a specific day of observation.
