writer of Hebrews found a useful comparison in the Sabbath (Heb. 4:1–13). When God completed His work of creation, He rested. He stopped. It wasn’t that He was tired and needed a break; He no longer needed to work because His work was finished. Creation was complete (Heb. 4:4; Gen. 2:1–2). In the same way, people don’t need to work for salvation because in Christ salvation is finished. The way to God is open. We can rest from slavish adherence to the Law in an attempt to make ourselves acceptable
