The Fourth Commandment
We normally mention—rightfully so—that the Sabbath is no longer binding on man today.

The Fourth Commandment
We normally mention—rightfully so—that the Sabbath is no longer binding on man today. Jesus “himself is our peace, who has made us both one
and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace, and might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility” (Eph 2:14-16, ESV).

“Let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath. These are a shadow of the things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ” (Col 2:16-17, ESV).

The Fourth Commandment
While the Sabbath command is not binding, we can learn important lessons from it. This command originated with God, not man: “All
Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness” (2 Tm 3:16, ESV).

We can learn even from non-binding sections of Scripture.

The Fourth Commandment
The purpose in going through these non-binding commands is two-fold.

The Fourth Commandment
The purpose in going through these non-binding commands is two-fold. First, we must properly teach the Scriptures.

The Fourth Commandment
The purpose in going through these non-binding commands is two-fold. First, we must properly teach the Scriptures.
“Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth” (2 Tm 2:15, ESV).

“Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth” (2 Tm 2:15, ESV).
The word “rightly handling” means to cut in a straight line—metaphorically, it means to know how to use something.

The Fourth Commandment
“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy” (v 8, ESV).

WHY DID GOD SAY TO REMEMBER THE
SABBATH?
![Page 33: EXODUS 20:8-11 The Fourth Comma ndment. We live in an increasing fast-paced world](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110405/56649ece5503460f94bdb0a7/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
The Fourth Commandment
It’s possible that “remember” means “keep holy.”
![Page 34: EXODUS 20:8-11 The Fourth Comma ndment. We live in an increasing fast-paced world](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110405/56649ece5503460f94bdb0a7/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
The Fourth Commandment
It’s possible that “remember” means “keep holy.”
But, I believe the Israelites are being told not to forget the Sabbath.

The Fourth Commandment
It’s possible that “remember” means “keep holy.”
But, I believe the Israelites are being told not to forget the Sabbath. God had previously commanded the Sabbath in relation
to the gathering of manna (Ex 16:22-30).
![Page 36: EXODUS 20:8-11 The Fourth Comma ndment. We live in an increasing fast-paced world](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110405/56649ece5503460f94bdb0a7/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
The Fourth Commandment
It’s possible that “remember” means “keep holy.”
But, I believe the Israelites are being told not to forget the Sabbath. God had previously commanded the Sabbath in relation
to the gathering of manna (Ex 16:22-30). On Friday, the Israelites were to gather twice as much
manna, for there would be none on the Sabbath.

to the gathering of manna (Ex 16:22-30). On Friday, the Israelites were to gather twice as much
manna, for there would be none on the Sabbath. The Israelites who thought they’d wait to gather on the
Sabbath went out to gather manna, but they found none!

of you disobeyed the Sabbath—you went hungry!

The Fourth Commandment
The Israelites also needed to remember what day of the week it was so that they could honor the Sabbath.

The Fourth Commandment
The Israelites also needed to remember what day of the week it was so that they could honor the Sabbath.
The Israelites are also likely being commanded not to forget what the Sabbath represents.

The Fourth Commandment
The Israelites also needed to remember what day of the week it was so that they could honor the Sabbath.
The Israelites are also likely being commanded not to forget what the Sabbath represents. For them, the Sabbath was a representation of who God
is & what God had done.

THE POINT IS THAT WE NEED A SOLID
MEMORY.

The Fourth Commandment
We need to keep the Law of God in remembrance.

The Fourth Commandment
We need to keep the Law of God in remembrance. We need to remember God’s expectation about caring for
the needy—“In all things I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive’” (Acts 20:35, ESV).

The Fourth Commandment
We need to keep the Law of God in remembrance. We need to remember God’s expectation about caring for
the needy—Acts 20:35. “This is now the second letter that I am writing to you,
beloved. In both of them I am stirring up your sincere mind by way of reminder, that you should remember the predictions of the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior through your apostles” (2 Pt 3:1-3, ESV).

The Fourth Commandment
