Chapter 21: Of Religious Worship and the Sabbath Day
1. The light of nature shows that there is a God who has lordship and sovereignty over all, is good, and does good to all. He is therefore to be feared, loved, praised, called upon, trusted in, and served—with all the heart and with all the soul and with all the might.a But the acceptable way of worshiping the true God is instituted by Himself, and is thus limited by His own revealed will. Therefore, He may not be worshiped according to the imaginations and devices of men, the suggestions of Satan, under any visible representation, or any other way not prescribed in the holy Scripture.b

2. Religious worship is to be given to God, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and to Him alone;a not to angels, saints, or any other creature.b Also, since the fall, worship is not to be without a Mediator, nor in the mediation of any other but of Christ alone.c

3. Prayer with thanksgiving is one special part of religious worship,a and God requires prayer of all men.b In order for prayer to be accepted, it is to be made:
· In the name of the Sonc
· By the help of His Spiritd
· According to His wille
· With understanding, reverence, humility, fervency, faith, love, and perseverance.f
If prayer is spoken aloud, it is to be in a known tongue.g

4. Prayer is to be made for things lawful,a and for all sorts of men, living or that will live hereafter.b Prayer is not to be made for the dead,c nor for those of whom it may be known that they have sinned the sin to death.[1], d

5. The parts of the ordinary religious worship of God [in addition to prayer] are:a
· The reading of the Scriptures with godly fearb
· The sound preachingc and conscientious hearing of the Word, in obedience to God, with understanding, faith, and reverenced
· Singing of psalms with grace in the hearte
· The due administration and worthy receiving of the sacraments instituted by Christ.a
There are other parts of religious worship that, upon various occasions in their different times and seasons, are to be used in a holy and religious manner:j
· Religious oathsf and vowsg
· Solemn fastingh
· Thanksgivings on various[2] occasionsi

6. Now, under the Gospel,[3] neither prayer nor any other part of religious worship is either tied to, or is made more acceptable by, any place in which it is performed or toward which it is directed.a Rather, God is to be worshiped everywhere,b in spirit and truth:c
· In private familiesd dailye
· In secret each one by himselff
· More solemnly, in the public assemblies, which are not to be carelessly or willfully neglected or forsaken when God calls us to them by His Word or providence.g
aJohn 4:21 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; bMalachi 1:11 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; 1 Timothy 2:8 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; cJohn 4:23–24 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; dJeremiah 10:25 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Deuteronomy 6:6–7 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Job 1:5 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; 2 Samuel 6:18, 20 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; 1 Peter 3:7 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Acts 10:2 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; eMatthew 6:11 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB)

; Acts 13:42 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Luke 4:16 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Acts 2:42 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB)
7. It is the law of nature that, in general, a due proportion of time is to be set apart for the worship of God. Likewise, in His Word, God has particularly appointed one day in seven for a Sabbath to be kept holy to Him. This is a positive, moral, and perpetual commandment, which binds all men in all ages. a From the beginning of the world to the resurrection of Christ, the Sabbath was the last day of the week. At the resurrection of Christ, the Sabbath was changed to the first day of the week,b which is called the Lord’s Day in the Scripture.c The Lord’s Day is to be continued to the end of the world as the Christian Sabbath.d
aExodus 20:8, 10–11 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Isaiah 56:2, 4, 6–7 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; bGenesis 2:2–3 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; 1 Corinthians 16:1–2 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Acts 20:7 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; cRevelation 1:10
(ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; dExodus 20:8, 10
(ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) with
Matthew 5:17–18 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB)
8. This Sabbath is then kept holy to the Lord, when men:
- Prior to the Sabbath:
- Prepare their hearts
- Order their common affairs beforehand
- Observe a holy rest all day long from their own works, words, and thoughts about their worldly employments and recreationsa
- Take up the whole time in the public and private exercises of His worship and in the duties of necessity and mercy.b

23For I received from the Lord what I also
delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took
bread, 24and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, “This is my body which
is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” 25In the same way also he took the cup,
after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as
often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” 26For as often as you eat this bread and
drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes. 27Whoever,
therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner
will be guilty concerning the body and blood of the Lord. 28Let a person examine himself, then, and so
eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 29For anyone who eats and drinks without
discerning the body eats and drinks judgment on himself.
1 Corinthians 11:23-29 (KJ3) Back
23¶ For I received from the Lord
what I also gave over to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which He was
given over took bread;

broke and said, Take, eat; this is My body, the one being broken on
behalf of you; this do in remembrance of Me.
25 In the same way the cup also,
after the order to eat supper, He said, This cup is the
New Covenant in My blood; as often as you drink, do this in remembrance of Me.
26 For as often as you may eat this
bread, and drink this cup, you solemnly proclaim the death of the Lord, until
He shall come.
27 So then whoever should eat this
bread, or drink the cup of the Lord, unworthily, that one will be guilty
of the body and of the blood of the Lord.
28 But let a man examine himself,
and so let him eat from the bread, and let him drink from the cup;

drinking unworthily eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the
body of the Lord.

of the Lord in an unworthy manner, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of
the Lord. 28But a man must examine himself, and in so doing he
is to eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 29For he who eats and drinks, eats and
drinks judgment to himself if he does not judge the body rightly.

1Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is
good, for his steadfast love endures forever! 2Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom
he has redeemed from trouble 3and gathered in from the lands, from the
east and from the west, from the north and from the south.
4Some wandered in
desert wastes, finding no way to a city to dwell in; 5hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted
within them. 6Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and
he delivered them from their distress. 7He led them by a straight way till they
reached a city to dwell in. 8Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast
love, for his wondrous works to the children of man! 9For he satisfies the longing soul, and the
hungry soul he fills with good things. 10Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of
death, prisoners in affliction and in irons, 11for they had rebelled against the words of
God, and spurned the counsel of the Most High. 12So he bowed their hearts down with hard
labor; they fell down, with none to help. 13Then they cried to the Lord in their
trouble, and he delivered them from their distress. 14He brought them out of darkness and the
shadow of death, and burst their bonds apart. 15Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast
love, for his wondrous works to the children of man! 16For he shatters the doors of bronze and
cuts in two the bars of iron. 17Some were fools through their sinful ways,
and because of their iniquities suffered affliction; 18they loathed any kind of food, and they
drew near to the gates of death. 19Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,
and he delivered them from their distress. 20He sent out his word and healed them, and
delivered them from their destruction. 21Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast
love, for his wondrous works to the children of man! 22And let them offer sacrifices of
thanksgiving, and tell of his deeds in songs of joy! 23Some went down to the sea in ships, doing
business on the great waters; 24they saw the deeds of the Lord, his
wondrous works in the deep. 25For he commanded and raised the stormy
wind, which lifted up the waves of the sea. 26They mounted up to heaven; they went down
to the depths; their courage melted away in their evil plight; 27they
reeled and staggered like drunken men and were at their wits’ end. 28Then
they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them from their
distress. 29He made the storm be still, and the waves of the
sea were hushed. 30Then they were glad that the waters were quiet,
and he brought them to their desired haven. 31Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast
love, for his wondrous works to the children of man! 32Let them extol him in the congregation of
the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders. 33He turns rivers into a desert, springs of
water into thirsty ground, 34a fruitful land into a salty waste,
because of the evil of its inhabitants. 35He turns a desert into pools of water, a
parched land into springs of water. 36And there he lets the hungry dwell, and
they establish a city to live in; 37they sow fields and plant vineyards and
get a fruitful yield. 38By his blessing they multiply greatly, and he does
not let their livestock diminish. 39When they are diminished and brought low
through oppression, evil, and sorrow, 40he pours contempt on princes and makes
them wander in trackless wastes; 41but he raises up the needy out of
affliction and makes their families like flocks. 42The upright see it and are glad, and all
wickedness shuts its mouth. 43Whoever is wise, let him attend to these
things; let them consider the steadfast love of the Lord.
Psalm 107 (KJ3) Back

7 And He guided them in the way of
the upright ones to go to a city of dwelling.
8 Let them thank Jehovah for His
mercy, and His wonders to the sons of man.
9 He satisfies the thirsty soul,
and He fills the hungry soul with good.
10¶ Those who live in the darkness,
and in the shadow of death, being prisoners in affliction and iron,
11 because they rebelled against
the words of God, and spurned the counsel of the Most High;
12 and He humbled their heart by
toil, they stumbled, and not one helping;
13 and they cried to Jehovah in
their distress; He saved them out of their straits;
14 He brought them out from
darkness and the shadow of death; and He tore off their bonds.
15 Let them give thanks to Jehovah for
His kindness,and His wonders to the sons of man.
16 For He has broken gates of
bronze; and He cut bars of iron in two.
17¶ Foolish ones! They are
afflicted from the way of their transgression, and from their iniquities;
18 their soul hates every food; and
they reach the gates of death;
19 and they cried to Jehovah in
their distress; He saved them from their straits;
20 He sent His Word and healed
them; and delivered them from all their pits.
21 Let them give thanks to Jehovah for
His kindness and His wonders to the sons of men.
22 And let them sacrifice the
sacrifices of thanksgiving, and recount His works with rejoicing.
23¶ They who go down to the sea in
ships, who work in the great waters;
24 These see the works of Jehovah
and His wonders in the deep.
25 For He speaks, and He raises
a wind of tempest and makes its waves high;
26 they go up to the heavens;
they go down to the depths; their soul is melted in evil;
27 they reel and stagger like a
drunken man, and all their wisdom is swallowed up;
28 and they cry to Jehovah in their
distress, and He brings them out of their straits.
29 He settles the tempest to a
whisper, so that its waves are still;
30 and they are glad, because they
are quiet; and He led them to their haven of desire.
31 Let them thank Jehovah for His
kindness and His wonders to the sons of men;
32 and exalt Him in the assembly of
the people, and praise Him in the seat of the elders.
33¶ He sets rivers to a wilderness,
and watersprings to thirsty ground;
34 a fruitful land to a salty
desert, because of the evil of those who live in it.
35 He puts the wilderness into
pools of water; and dry land into water-springs;
36 and He makes those who hunger
live there, and they may prepare a city of dwelling.
37 And they sow the fields, and
plant vineyards, and make fruits of produce.
38 He also blesses them so that
they multiply greatly; and He does not allow their cattle to be few
39 but they become few and bowed
down through restraint, evil and grief.
40 He pours contempt on nobles, and

Psalm 107 (NASB95) Back
1Oh give thanks to the Lord, for He is
good, For His lovingkindness is everlasting. 2Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, Whom
He has redeemed from the hand of the adversary 3And gathered from the lands, From the east
and from the west, From the north and from the south. 4They wandered in the wilderness in a
desert region; They did not find a way to an inhabited city. 5They
were hungry and thirsty; Their soul fainted within them. 6Then they cried out to the Lord in their
trouble; He delivered them out of their distresses. 7He led them also by a straight way, To go
to an inhabited city. 8Let them give thanks to the Lord for His
lovingkindness, And for His wonders to the sons of men! 9For He has satisfied the thirsty soul, And
the hungry soul He has filled with what is good. 10There were those who dwelt in darkness and
in the shadow of death, Prisoners in misery and chains, 11Because they had rebelled against the
words of God And spurned the counsel of the Most High. 12Therefore He humbled their heart with
labor; They stumbled and there was none to help. 13Then they cried out to the Lord in their
trouble; He saved them out of their distresses. 14He brought them out of darkness and the
shadow of death And broke their bands apart. 15Let them give thanks to the Lord for His
lovingkindness, And for His wonders to the sons of men! 16For He has shattered gates of bronze And
cut bars of iron asunder. 17Fools, because of their rebellious way,
And because of their iniquities, were afflicted. 18Their soul abhorred all kinds of food, And
they drew near to the gates of death. 19Then they cried out to the Lord in their
trouble; He saved them out of their distresses. 20He sent His word and healed them, And
delivered them from their destructions. 21Let them give thanks to the Lord for His
lovingkindness, And for His wonders to the sons of men! 22Let them also offer sacrifices of
thanksgiving, And tell of His works with joyful singing. 23Those who go down to the sea in ships, Who
do business on great waters; 24They have seen the works of the Lord, And
His wonders in the deep. 25For He spoke and raised up a stormy wind,
Which lifted up the waves of the sea. 26They rose up to the heavens, they went
down to the depths; Their soul melted away in their misery. 27They
reeled and staggered like a drunken man, And were at their wits’ end. 28Then
they cried to the Lord in their trouble, And He brought them out of their
distresses. 29He caused the storm to be still, So that the waves
of the sea were hushed. 30Then they were glad because they were quiet, So He
guided them to their desired haven. 31Let them give thanks to the Lord for His
lovingkindness, And for His wonders to the sons of men! 32Let them extol Him also in the
congregation of the people, And praise Him at the seat of the elders. 33He
changes rivers into a wilderness And springs of water into a thirsty ground; 34A
fruitful land into a salt waste, Because of the wickedness of those who dwell
in it. 35He changes a wilderness into a pool of water And a dry land into springs of
water; 36And there He makes the hungry to dwell, So that they may establish an
inhabited city, 37And sow fields and plant vineyards, And gather a
fruitful harvest. 38Also He blesses them and they multiply greatly,
And He does not let their cattle decrease. 39When they are diminished and bowed down
Through oppression, misery and sorrow, 40He pours contempt upon princes And makes
them wander in a pathless waste. 41But He sets the needy securely on high
away from affliction, And makes his families like a flock.
42The upright see
it and are glad; But all unrighteousness shuts its mouth. 43Who is wise? Let him give heed to these
things, And consider the lovingkindnesses of the Lord.

cry to Yahweh in their trouble,
29 He makes
the storm a calm,
30 Then they
are glad because it is calm,
31 Let them
praise Yahweh for his loving kindness,
32 Let them
exalt him also in the assembly of the people,
33 He turns
rivers into a desert,

fruitful land into a salt waste,
35 He turns a
desert into a pool of water,

makes the hungry live,

plant vineyards,

them also, so that they are multiplied greatly.

are diminished and bowed down

15In those days I saw in Judah people
treading winepresses on the Sabbath, and bringing in heaps of grain and loading
them on donkeys, and also wine, grapes, figs, and all kinds of loads, which
they brought into Jerusalem on the Sabbath day. And I warned them on the day
when they sold food. 16Tyrians also, who lived in the city, brought in
fish and all kinds of goods and sold them on the Sabbath to the people of
Judah, in Jerusalem itself! 17Then I confronted the nobles of Judah and
said to them, “What is this evil thing that you are doing, profaning the
Sabbath day? 18Did not your fathers act in this way, and did not
our God bring all this disaster on us and on this city? Now you are bringing
more wrath on Israel by profaning the Sabbath.” 19As soon as it began to grow dark at the
gates of Jerusalem before the Sabbath, I commanded that the doors should be
shut and gave orders that they should not be opened until after the Sabbath.
And I stationed some of my servants at the gates, that no load might be brought
in on the Sabbath day. 20Then the merchants and sellers of all kinds of
wares lodged outside Jerusalem once or twice. 21But I warned them and said to them, “Why
do you lodge outside the wall? If you do so again, I will lay hands on you.”
From that time on they did not come on the Sabbath. 22Then I commanded the Levites that they
should purify themselves and come and guard the gates, to keep the Sabbath day
holy. Remember this also in my favor, O my God, and spare me according to the

who brought fish and all wares, and were selling on the Sabbath to the sons of
Judah, even in Jerusalem.

more wrath on Israel by defiling the Sabbath.

burden brought in on the Sabbath day.

this city all this trouble? Yet you are adding to the wrath on Israel by

kind of merchandise spent the night outside Jerusalem. 21Then I warned them and said to them, “Why
do you spend the night in front of the wall? If you do so again, I will use
force against you.” From that time on they did not come on the sabbath. 22And I
commanded the Levites that they should purify themselves and come as
gatekeepers to sanctify the sabbath day. For this also remember me, O my God,

11 He said to them, “What man is there among you, who has one sheep, and if
this one falls into a pit on the Sabbath day, won’t he grab on to it, and lift
it out?
12 Of how much more value then is a man
than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath day.”
13 Then he told the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out;
and it was restored whole, just like the other.
