Adam and Eve received three commandments in Gen. 1:28-2:3.
1) Make babies
2) Rule the earth
3) Rest
The seventh day was set aside for rest. It was not set aside for church services; there were neither churches nor services. It wasn’t set aside for Bible study; there were no Bibles. It was set aside for rest.
The very fact that God would need to order us to rest tells us two very important things about ourselves:
1) Human beings have tendency to get so busy with their lives that they forget to rest.
2) Human beings really, truly need to rest.
