Christians have generally one of the following three views of the fourth commandment.
First, there are the seventh day Sabitarians. Those in this group believe that the Old Testament Law re the Sabbath remain unaltered for the Church. Paul doesn't think so in his letter to the Colossi ans.
Second, there are the Lord's Day Sabitarians. The only difference here is the shift in the day and the Laws are transferred from the Sabbath (Saturday) to the Lord's Day (Sunday). This cannot be correct for the same reasons as the Seventh Day Sabitarians are wrong.
Third, There are those who are Lord's Day observers. This is my stand. The Sabbath has been fulfilled in Christ and we gather on the Lord's Day to celebrate His resurrection and to worship Him. There has been a shift from rest to worship.
Today there is a fourth option which is no option at all. There are those who have marginalized the Sabbath or the Lord's Day and it has become an inconvenience.

"There has been a shift from rest to worship." When did this happen I must have missed the memo?
