Colossians 3:15

Sabbath as Spiritual Rest One People of God

“And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.”

Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.

And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.

And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
