Romans (Part 84)
The Sabbath: Principle, Not Command
Sabbath Principles Romans 14:5-9 Paul reminds the church in Rome that while some keep the Sabbath and others treat every day as holy, both can honor the Lord, because what matters is living and resting in Christ, not rigid rule-keeping.
For Christians today, the Sabbath is not a binding law but a life-giving principle — a gift of rest, worship, identity, and witness that helps us trust God’s grace, find renewal, and live counterculturally in a world of constant work.
