In its Old Testament usage, the word justice means the verdict of God’s judgment. Justice plus righteousness equals salvation. As the result of Christ’s death on the cross for us, God’s verdict concerning us, the believers in Christ, is the justice that causes us to be justified, to be made righteous (Rom. 3:24). This justice that makes us righteous is God’s salvation coming to us.

According to this book the real meaning of keeping the Sabbath is that we cease from our doing, stop our work, and enjoy what the Lord has done for us, drinking of Him as the waters (12:3; 55:1). Keeping the Sabbath in this way is to be terminated and replaced by Christ so that we may enter into Him and rest in Him for eternity (Gal. 2:20). The entire Christian life should be such a Sabbath.

First, God gathered the Jews to Christ (Acts chs. 2—12), and then He began to gather the Gentiles from such places as Asia Minor and Macedonia (Acts chs. 13—20). Today He continues to gather people to Christ from throughout the earth.
