Paragraph 22.7

Of the Second London Baptist Confession of Faith

As it is of the Law of Nature, that in general, a proportion of time, by God’s appointment, be set apart for the Worship of God, so by his Word, in a positive, moral, and perpetual Commandment, binding all Men, in all Ages, he has particularly appointed one day in seven for a Sabbath to be kept holy unto him, which from the beginning of the World, to the Resurrection of Christ, was the last Day of the Week; and from the Resurrection of Christ, was changed into the first day of the Week,⁠1 which is called the Lord’s Day; and is to be continued to the end of the World, as the Christian Sabbath; the observation of the last day of the Week being abolished.⁠2

21.7

As it is of the Law of Nature, that, in general, a due proportion of time be set apart, for the Worship of God; so, in his word, by a positive, Moral, and perpetual Commandment, binding all men, in all Ages, he has particularly appointed One Day in Seven, for a Sabbath, to be kept holy unto him:⁠1 which, from the beginning of the World to the Resurrection of Christ, was the last Day of the week; and, from the Resurrection of Christ, was changed into the First Day of the week,⁠2 which, in Scripture, is called the Lords Day,⁠3 and is to be continued to the end of the World, as the Christian Sabbath.⁠4
