A day of rest

A day of rest – Gen 2:1-7

1-3 – God institutes the Sabbath.  He rested on the seventh day after He had created all things in six days.  God blessed the seventh day and made it holy and instituted it as a day of rest.  The body is designed for six days of work but it needs to rest and relax.  

4-7 – The full account of how the universe was created has been made.  Shrubs and plants had not sprung up because God had sent rain on the earth.  Streams from the earth came up and watered the ground.  The earth was like a hot house.  Science has confirmed this.  God formed man out of the dust of the earth breathed into his nostrils the breath of life.  Life begins and ends with God.  He is sustainer of life.  God gave us life and we became a living soul.  We are a tri-part being.  We have a body, soul and spirit.  We have a will, intellect and emotions.  We were created for God`s purpose and design.  You will only find it through Jesus Christ.
