By what authority and event is the Sabbath established? It was at the creation by the example of God during the establishment of the seventh day. The Sabbath was set apart by the Creator God at creation. It was from this act and example that the seventh day was later given the very title... Sabbath. The scripture clearly states that "then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it". Sanctified means to be set apart. God, by His example, set it apart for special usage. God made the first six days by working, he made the 7th day Holy by resting. Let's examine this more closely today.
