WSC Q62: Reasons to Keep the Sabbath

Q. 62 What are the reasons annexed to the fourth commandment?

A. The reasons annexed to the fourth commandment are, God's allowing us six days of the week for our own employments, His challenging a special propriety in the seventh, His own example, and His blessing the Sabbath-day.

A lot of people will tell you that they cannot keep the Sabbath Day because they have too much to do. Some have pride about the importance of their work. Some are unwilling to give up their recreations. Some are just lazy and don't have time because they don't work when they ought. The problem here in every case is idolatry!
