What are you to do on the Weekly New Covenant Sabbath?
First, on the Lord’s Day, Sunday, the Sabbath, we are to remember and enjoy that Christ has brought complete and final fulfillment in terms of salvation. Salvation work has ceased as we rest in the work of Christ (Gal. 3:13).
Second, as we remember that Christ has finished the work of redemption, we are to gather together as God’s people to rejoice and praise our Savior for His perfect work (Acts 20:7, 1 Cor. 16:2).
Third, we are to remember that our resting in Christ for salvation on the Sabbath will be fully realized and experienced on the final Lord’s Day when He returns and we experience our final rest with Him in glory in the new heavens and new earth in our heavenly bodies.
When we honor the Sabbath each week, we make room to rest in God’s presence and remember what He has accomplished for us in Jesus Christ. We choose to make room for God to reorganize our lives after a week of life-consuming worries and work. In the weekly rhythm of Sabbath, God brings order to our lives in a world of Chaos. Enjoy the Sabbath.
God’s Promises Demand a Response

`God has promised to give you a flourishing, thriving life by loving and obeying His Law (Ps. 1). God’s Law was given to us a loving guide to lead us away from destruction and into maximum blessing from God. God did not give His Law to make us miserable prisoners of gloom. He gave us His Law so that we would live thriving lives in this sinful world.
