Why Did God Need to Rest on the 7th Day?

Hi there, I'm Dr. John White, WebMD's Chief Medical Officer and host of the Health Discovered Podcast, where we bring you fascinating stories and unique perspectives, like our recent episode on how heart failure can particularly affect women in Black and Hispanic communities.

We've documented it time and time again. She was young, she was Black, she was a woman.

No one expected her to look like the face of heart failure. When you don't look like what someone expects, that's going to lead to delays in diagnosis.

We all have to take this consolation of symptoms, treat it the same each and every time.

Whether it's a young person, a Black person, a woman. If someone presents to me with my heart racing and feeling winded,

I need to get an echocardiogram 100 % of the time, regardless. Listen to Health Discovered on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.

Where we provide a quick biblical interpretations and applications. This is a ministry of striving for eternity.

Why did God need to rest on the seventh day of creation? This is a challenge we sometimes get, and yet this challenge is a little bit of a problem.

The reason being is, well, it's a fallacy. It expects the answer that God had to somehow do something.

That God had to rest, but he didn't actually have to. The reality is, when we talk about God creating the entire universe out of absolutely nothing.

Not like the nothing that the evolutionists argue that nothing is actually something. We're talking nothing that actually means nothing.

And when God created everything out of nothing, why did he take so long?

That's right. Evolutionists will say, well, he couldn't have done it that quickly. But the reality is, he created everything out of nothing.

He could have done it in a split second. But he chose to do it in six working days with one day of rest.

Why? Did he actually need to rest? No. In fact, he could have created everything in a split second.

He chose to do this in seven days so that we would have an example of a work week.

You see this in Exodus chapter 20, that God said that he worked for six days, rested on the seventh.

And that is a pattern for you and I, that we are to work for six days and have a day of rest.

God did this as an example for us. Hey, Scott, what brings you in at the pharmacy?

I'm thinking about getting one of the updated COVID -19 vaccines. Great. Do you know which type of vaccine you'd like?

There's more than one. Yep. There are different types of vaccines available. You can learn more about them at wedovaccines .com.
