If we are commanded to remember the Sabbath in the Ten Commandments, why do we go to worship on Sunday? In my paper, I am seeking possible answers to this question. At the beginning of my research, I outline the position of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. In the following sections, I aim to present a biblical alternative to this position. I argue that the Sabbath institution was not known to the Jewish people before their wilderness wanderings. But here it becomes the sign of the Mosaic covenant. Since the covenant was made with the Jews, the Lord does not require foreign nations to observe the Sabbath. But God promises to make a new covenant that will not only apply to the Jews. This has been realised in Jesus Christ. He is the one to whom the Sabbath points. In light of this, we cannot cling to the shadow when the light of the world has come among us.

A reformátori és kálvini örökség iránti hűség jól követhető a Református Szemle hasábjain megjelent írásokban, és különösen az 1960-as évek derekától, amikortól ugyanis rendszeressé vált a tanulmányok közlése. De a systematica teológiai tanulmányok sorában már az 1950-es évektől nyomon követhető a reformátorok tanítása és természetesen a Kálvin iránti fokozott érdeklődés.
