Few topics in Christianity generate as much debate as the Sabbath and the role of God’s law in the life of the believer. This section carefully examines the Sabbath, the Ten Commandments, and their place under the New Covenant, asking whether what was once commanded remains binding today.
By comparing Scripture with Scripture, and testing long-held assumptions against the full counsel of God’s Word, these studies aim to bring clarity, freedom, and confidence rooted in the finished work of Christ.
| The Rest Humanity Lost — And The Rest Christ Restored Sabbath Series From Genesis to Revelation, Scripture reveals one continuous story — humanity was created for rest, lost that rest through sin, and is now invited back into it through Jesus Christ.

| The Sabbath, the Patriarchs, and the Sinai Covenant This FAQ examines key biblical passages about when the Sabbath was commanded, to whom it was given, and what it represented within the covenant at Sinai (Horeb). It also highlights the significance of Deuteronomy 5:1–3, where Moses states the Horeb covenant was made with Israel present, not with “our fathers” (the patriarchs), immediately before restating the Ten Commandments (including the Sabbath). |

| The “Commandments of God” in Revelation Do They Refer to the Ten Commandments or to Christ’s Commandments? Several passages in the Book of Revelation describe end-time believers as those who “keep the commandments of God” (notably Revelation 12:17 and 14:12; Revelation 22:14 has a textual variant). A major interpretive question is whether these “commandments” refer specifically to the Ten Commandments (Decalogue) given at Sinai, or to God’s commandments as revealed in Christ under the New Covenant—including the commandments Christ gave through the apostles (cf. Acts 1:1–2). |

| Did God Give the Ten Commandments to the World—or Only to Israel? Was the Old Covenant, including the Ten Commandments, truly given to all humanity—or was it made exclusively with the nation of Israel? If Scripture clearly defines the covenant and its recipients, why are so many today placing the world under what God gave to one nation alone? |
