You Shall Not Work

Leviticus 23:28: "Now on the tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement...And you shall not do any work on that very day, for it is a Day of Atonement, to make atonement for you before the Lord your God."

This is the Levitical law: No work on the Day sins are atoned for. God is emphatic, "You shall not work!"

Some things haven't changed, the atonement God requires is still one that we cannot work for. What he requires is rest and receiving. Rest in His grace and receive the sacrifice of Jesus. The removal of sin is never removed by human work.

Hebrews 4:9-10: "So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God, for whoever has entered God's rest has also rested from his works as God did from his."
