How do we know that God's laws are important for Christians?
Answered in 1 source
God's laws reflect His character and are pivotal for understanding our relationship with Him, as they guide us in holiness and obedience (Hebrews 4:9-10).
Understanding the significance of God's laws, including the sabbath commandment, is essential for Christians as they reveal God's character and His expectations for His people. While believers are not under the Old Covenant laws in the same way Israel was, the moral principles behind these commandments remain applicable. As indicated in Hebrews 4:9-10, the sabbath is not merely a day to follow rigid rules but points to a deeper spiritual rest found in Christ. By recognizing the purpose of these laws, Christians are urged to maintain a posture of grace and reliance on Christ’s righteousness rather than their works.
