We saw that each of the commandments is extremely important and that when a person breaks any one of the Ten Commandments he is guilty of breaking all of them. The Fourth Commandment is found in Exodus 20:8-11:
"Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maid servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it."
God has instituted a special day of the week on which we are to put aside our secular activities and concern ourselves only with fellowship with Him. The Sabbath day is to be a day of pleasant companionship with God, much like the first Sabbath in the Garden of Eden.
