Genesis 3 explains why there is murder, hatred, lies, rape, disobedience, sickness, misery etc..

It shows the sad, tragic history of the fall of man. We read of the very first sin which affected the whole human race. All that devastates the world can be traced back to this sin. The great prototype for every sin :-
1. God's authority is questioned
2. God's word is distorted

Sabbath observance for many conjures up images of a dreary day. Negative legalism gets in the way of our understanding of what the sabbath is really about.

But as we shall see the Sabbath has an extremely important place in the life and witness of the Church.
