The Sabbath is the memorial of God’s creation of Planet Earth. Genesis, the first book of the Bible, states that God created the world in six days, and rested on the seventh day (Saturday). The Hebrew word for Sabbath is shabbat, meaning “to rest from labor” or “day of rest.” God also blessed and sanctified it making the day holy. After Adam and Eve sinned, God intended that true Sabbath observance would set His people apart as His forever. JTL5 2.1
