Why is the Sabbath important for Christians?

The significance of the Sabbath for Christians lies in its role as a reminder of both God’s creative work and the redemptive work of Christ. In keeping the Sabbath, Christians acknowledge that God sanctified this day, setting it aside as a holy observance. This day is not only a time for physical rest but a spiritual one, where believers can reflect on the grace and finished work of Christ, who is our true Sabbath. Furthermore, it fosters a deeper connection with God, allowing believers to gather in worship, celebrate the resurrection, and remember the salvation available through Christ's sacrifice.
