—Genesis 1:28-2:3
by: Andy Samuels.
Some of the verbs used in the passage to describe our all-powerful, all-knowing, all-loving God are refreshingly revealing. He “blessed” the male and the female who were uniquely created in His image. He also “blessed” the seventh day and sanctified it. There are innumerable debates about the validity and meaning of the seventh day Sabbath. It cannot be denied, however, that the Bible clearly tells us that God blessed and sanctified (set apart) that day. I believe there is a corresponding blessing to those who embrace that revelation.
