In Exodus, after the Fourth Commandment is first instituted, God explains,

​

Exodus 20:11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

​

By resting on the seventh day and sanctifying it, we remember and acknowledge that God is the creator of heaven and earth and all living things.

​

God, Creator of the Sabbath, determines when the day begins and ends, and it was observed from sunset to sunset throughout the Bible.

​

His Sabbath begins Friday evening at sunset and ends Saturday evening at sunset.

​

Genesis 1:5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

​

Jesus', clearly denied that He intended to change or abolish the Sabbath or any part of God’s law.

​

Matthew 5:17-19

​

17) Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

​

18) For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

​

19) Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

​

Romans 3:4 God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.
