“But the journey also begins with the assurance that the travelers will not make the trip alone. We know this because the seventh day has etched God’s presence into human reality.”

“Barth observes that the seventh day does not come at the end of a week of toil and labor for human beings as though its primary purpose is to offer a measure of respite after days of toil. Rather, since “God’s seventh day was man’s first,”54 the seventh day sets life’s priority for human beings in the most tangible way. Better yet—and much closer to the point—the seventh day brings to view God’s priorities. Seeing that human time “begins with a day of rest and not a day of work,”55 the spiritual pursuit, living life in a relationship with the Creator that is mutually meaningful, stands out as the primary meaning in life.”

“Evil arose in the context of freedom. There could not be evil if the angels and human beings were not endowed with the gift of freedom. And yet freedom only provides the opportunity and is not the cause of evil. Freedom, too, is the value that God will not surrender even in the face of sin.”
