1. You are Jehovah, the Eternal God, his Son is the God of Redemption and the Holy Spirit is the God of Conviction.
2. " One day after we had played three sets of tennis, we sat down on the bench, and we began to have what you would call a religious argument. He looked at me and said, “McGee, do you keep the Sabbath day?”
“Yes, I keep the Sabbath.”
He looked at me real hard and said, “What day?”
I said to him, “Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and then I start all over again on Saturday.”
He said to me, “What in the world do you mean?”
“Well, the way I understand the Epistle to the Hebrews, the Sabbath day is now this day of grace in which we live, and Christ, after He died on the cross and came back to life, went back to the right hand of the Father and sat down. He sat down, not because He was tired, but because He had finished your redemption and mine. So now He tells me, ‘You rest in Me.’ I have a Sabbath day everyday—I rest in Christ.”
That doctor friend looked at me in amazement. “Well,” he said, “that’s better than having just one day, isn’t it?”
I said, “It sure is. Seven days a week is a sabbath of resting in Christ.”(McGee, J. V. Thru the Bible (electronic ed.)
3. Failure to appropriate another's sacrifice for your personal arrogance in unbelief.
