Here are key points about the Sabbath from Ellen White's writings: 1. The Sabbath distinguished the Jews from other nations and was a visible sign of their connection with God. All ordinary labor was forbidden, and the day was dedicated to rest and worship. Works of mercy and benevolence were permitted and honored on the Sabbath (2SP 193). 2. The Sabbath is a test from the Lord, and no human authority should come between God and man regarding its observance. Those who promote a false rest day oppose God's law and will face consequences unless they change (9T 234.2). 3. To keep the Sabbath holy, even our thoughts should avoid worldly matters. Engaging in business or secular concerns on the Sabbath is regarded by God as if one were actually doing business (HS 218.1). 4. The Sabbath is a sign of the relationship between God and His people, distinguishing the obedient from transgressors. Its observance preserves the knowledge of God (8T 198.3). 5. The Sabbath is a day of rest from labor. Diet should be simpler and lighter on the Sabbath, as less physical activity occurs. Care for the sick is permitted and is not a violation of the Sabbath (1SP 226.1; 3SG 254.1). 6. The fourth commandment instructs to remember the Sabbath, keep it holy, and refrain from work. God blessed and sanctified the seventh day (1SP 236.2; 3SG 266.1; PP 307.1). 7. Preparation for the Sabbath should occur before it begins, both mentally and physically. The day before the Sabbath is for preparation, so that all is ready for its sacred hours (6T 356.3; HS 217.3). 8. The Sabbath is a memorial of creation, a time to acquaint ourselves with God through His works, especially in nature. Families are encouraged to worship together and teach children about God on this day (Ed 251.1). 9. The Sabbath is a sign that God sanctifies His people. Those who keep it will reflect God's principles in their daily lives (6T 353.4). 10. God declared the seventh day as the Sabbath, blessed and sanctified it as a memorial of creation (PK 180.1). These points summarize Ellen White's teachings on the Sabbath, emphasizing its spiritual, practical, and relational significance.
