Salvation and the Sabbath Some Christians think that the only important issues are “salvation questions.” But if we were to follow this logic then discipleship would become unimportant, as a disciple is someone who has already been saved and because of this begins to order their life around God’s will. A disciple also consciously prays “your will be done” (Matt. 6:10) and then, after this prayer, is prepared to search for and then practice God’s will. This brings us full circle back to salvation. Looking at Scripture, I believe that it is God’s will that we enter into His rhythm. It is God’s rhythm—not mine. I do not decide, as many Christians believe, on which day I should rest (as long as it is one in seven), but God decides. In theological terms this is called righteousness by faith. It says, not my will but Your will. Not my method but God’s method. Not my righteousness but Your righteousness, Jesus.
