Importance of Remembering

Remembering is emphasized as a fundamental Christian spiritual duty. Scripture teaches that filling our minds with the truth of God is the key to developing a healthy spiritual memory. This is different from emptying our minds as taught by Eastern mystics. The commandment to remember the Sabbath day is highlighted as one of the most important verses about remembering in the Old Testament. It is a reminder to set aside one whole day every week for rest, reflection, and focusing on God's goodness. This rhythm of rest and work helps recalibrate our minds and store up the truth that God wants us to know.
