Gods Sabbath

C HAPTER 01

The Ultimate Source G od is the Source of the ceaseless streams of light and life that sustain the universe and every living thing that He has created. Our acceptance of this relationship to our Crea tor is the basis of true rest in Him. The Bible teaches us that humans and all other created beings are constantly depend ent upon a living connection with God in order to be sus tained by His light and life. When we appreciate the precious ness of these principles from the word of God, we can see our dependency upon God on the one hand, and His ability to pro vide for our every need on the other. Our knowledge and ex perience of these truths is the basis of our faith, which leads us to rest in God.

The Basis of Sabbath Rest

The Originator and Sustainer for everything that exists is the everlasting God in heaven. He is the Source of all light and life. All living and non-living matter has its origin in Him. David made reference to this fact when he sang: “For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light.” Psalm 36:9.
