The Lord’s Day The Christian Sabbath is the first day of the week (Sunday), observed as a day of rest and worship, commemorating Christ’s resurrection. It is rooted in the Fourth Commandment, emphasizing cessation from regular work to focus on God through public and private worship, prayer, and Scripture study. The Westminster Confession (1646) underscores its divine institution, viewing it as a perpetual moral obligation, distinct from the Jewish Sabbath but fulfilling the same principle of setting apart one day in seven for God.
