Why was the Sabbath Day ordained? What is its meaning for the New Testament believer? How important is a proper understanding of this command, and what are the dangers of misunderstanding it? How does the fourth commandment relate particularly to fathers, mothers, and families? What is its application for magistrates and the civil realm?Whether it's a question of worship and the Church or a matter of whether a business establishment should remain open or closed on Sunday, the fourth commandment is a law surrounded by debate, disagreement, and misunderstanding. Remember the Sabbath Day boldly addresses these and numerous other contemporary issues by bringing to the table the matured wisdom and Biblical understanding of the Christian giants of a previous century.Often referred to as "the Guardian of the Faith" and "the Foundation of Christianity," the Sabbath Day and the fourth commandment has stood as a bulwark of the Faith for millennia. Within this work Swiss Reformer Pierre Viret and his contemporary John Calvin delve into the true meaning and blessings of God's command for a Day of Rest. Offering often-overlooked insights into the purpose of this command, the reader will find that their intensely practical and astonishingly applicable writings provide a solid Biblical foundation for those seeking a better understanding of the wisdom, treasure, and responsibility of the fourth commandment.

Among works on the Sabbath and Lord’s Day Robert Cleaver work stands among the best. This work was one of his most well-known. One of his main texts is James 2:10-11, “Whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet fail in one point, he is guilt of all; for he, that said, you shall not commit adultery, said also, you shall not kill,” and, “This shall be our righteousness before the Lord our God, if we take heed to keep all these commandments, as he has commanded us,” (Deut. 6:25). Cleaver teaches the Christian church that it is dangerous to question the authorities of God’s Laws. He shows that the moral commandments are perpetual, that the Fourth Commandment is moral, and that there is still dignity of the Law in regard to continuance. He shows how the Sabbath is still the Lord’s Day. Cleaver covers how the Law has a place in man’s heart by nature, how the Law belongs to the regenerate, and that there are no alterations or changes of nature in the duties of the Law. He answers many questions and objection of those, in his day, that attempted to overthrow the moral law and the Lord’s Day, as well as demonstrating how Christians in the Primitive Church believed that the Lord’s Day is by divine institution as a result of the moral Law.

The third volume of John Calvin's Harmony of the Law, which is a four volume set on the books of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. Unlike typical commentaries that take each verse and chapter as they come in the Bible, these commentaries take you through the four books of the Law as they come up with each topic. As each topic is thought of and discussed, Calvin takes us across all four the books of the Hebrew Law to teach us about the value of the Old Law and what it can teach us today. In today's church there is a lot of people wondering what value the Old Testament beliefs hold for us but Calvin shows that they are as important as they were when Calvin first wrote during the reformation. This book continues the study of the Ten Commandments and all the laws and practices that are related to each of the laws.
