Foundations of Faith: The Seventh Day, Creation, and the Need for Context
In this episode of Justified Radio, David Sally and Phil Whittemore explore the transition from Genesis 1 to Genesis 2, emphasizing the seamless flow of creation's completion and the institution of the Sabbath.

The hosts highlight how early Christians and modern readers alike must look beyond surface reading to truly grasp biblical meaning, occasionally referencing extra-biblical writings for cultural context. They also explain the theological significance of the Sabbath as a model of rest, worship, and reflection, pointing out the broader effects of sin on all creation and the eventual restoration promised through Christ.

It’s a rich conversation on living well, dying well, and being truly at home with the Lord.
