Freedom Rules: The 10 Commandments
Enter His Rest! - Exodus 20:8-11 (p. 61)
#FreedomRules
With Freedom Rule #4 God invites His people to enter His Sabbath, His
Rest. Israel marked it with a total work stoppage on the 7th day of the week.
But what does it mean for us today? Perspectives vary, but God’s ultimate
goal for His Sabbath is clear. We enter God’s rest when we trust in the finished work of Christ and pursue life in Christ, including showing grace even
when we disagree about how to “Keep the Sabbath.” Enter His Rest! When
you do, Freedom Rules!
Sabbath Rest Then

The Sabbath: A Reminder (Exodus 20:8-11; Deut. 5:12-15)

The Sabbath: A Sign (Exodus 31:12-17)
Sabbath Rest Today

In Principle (Col. 2:16-17)

Show Grace (Rom. 14:5-7)

Enter His Rest Everyday (Heb. 4:1-11)

Did You Know? Believers in Christ are responsible to give regularly, proportionately and sacrificially to the Lord’s work, with
priority placed on the local church where a believer worships and
serves. We invite all to give; we do not solicit individuals. Our
focus is the Lord’s focus—on the attitude of the heart, not on the
amount of the gift.
