..continued. God was present in the pillar cloud by day and the fire pillar by night and the still turned readily to idols. The Sabbath allowed them to turn their minds back to the True God and worship Him alone. The commandment did not make the Israelites obey God from the heart. Only a regenerated person can do this. Therefore, we who are regenerated obey the sabbath law by going above and beyond by worshipping only the true God and sanctifying every day to Him.
As for resting, God knew that mankind would need rest from physical work to have time to renew their strength and to have time for other important things. He made mankind to live in families and families need to spend time together, not all going their separate ways every day. Thus the Sabbath is for such things that working all the time doesn't provide for us.
