Many question the enduring nature of the fourth commandment because of passages in the New Testament. In Romans 14:5, for instance, Paul speaks permissibly about those who esteem “all days alike.” Does he have the weekly Sabbath in mind here? What about when he refers to “days” in Galatians 4:10 or especially to “a Sabbath” in Colossians 2:16? In this lesson, Dr. Godfrey walks you through these passages to defend the continued relevance of a weekly Sabbath for the people of God.
