Seventh-Day Adventist's Fundamental Beliefs
20. The Sabbath
The beneficent Creator, after the six days of
Creation, rested on the seventh day and instituted the Sabbath
for all people as a memorial of Creation. The fourth commandment
of God's unchangeable law requires the observance of this seventh-day
Sabbath as the day of rest, worship, and ministry in harmony
with the teaching and practice of Jesus, the Lord of the Sabbath.
The Sabbath is a day of delightful communion with God and one
another. It is a symbol of our redemption in Christ, a sign of
our sanctification, a token of our allegiance, and a foretaste
of our eternal future in God's kingdom. The Sabbath is God's
perpetual sign of His eternal covenant between Him and His people.
Joyful observance of this holy time from evening to evening,
sunset to sunset, is a celebration of God's creative and redemptive
acts.
