Bible Note: From the Westminster Confession of Faith (verses given are those referenced in the Confession): ................................................................. Chapter 21, paragraph 7: "As it is the law of nature, that, in general, a due proportion of time be set apart for the worship of God; so, in His Word, by a positive, moral, and perpetual commandment binding all men in all ages, He hath particularly appointed one day in seven, for a Sabbath to be kept holy unto him: (Ex. 20:8,10,11; Isa 56:2,4,6,7) which from the beginning of the world to the resurrection of Christ, was the last day of the week; and, from the resurrection of Christ, was changed into the first day of the week, (Gen 2:2,3; 1 Cor. 16:1,2; Acts 20:7) which, in Scripture, is called the Lord's day, (Rev. 1:10) and is to be continured to the end of the world, as the Christian Sabbath." (Ex. 20:8; Matt. 5 :17,18) |
