There's a reason God said:
"In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established." 2Cor 13

"He put on righteousness, as an habergeon, and an helmet of salvation upon his head, and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloak."

The Sabbath, Order, and Peace - First Century Christianity

From Creation through to the New Jerusalem, observing God's Sabbath brings peace by establishing order in the home and in society.

Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.”
John 6:29

The context makes it obvious that "this is the work of God" doesn't mean "this is a work God does", but something required by God. Yeshua wasn't saying that believing is a "work" in the sense of earning your salvation. He was redirecting the people's attention from following a list of do's and don't's to putting their faith in the Messiah.

Did you know that the entire book of Deuteronomy is structured as an ancient suzerain-vassal treaty in the same basic pattern as those used by other Ancient Near East cultures of the time of Moses?

Tomorrow night at 7 PM Central the Common Sense Bible Study crew will be live with Daniel McGirr to talk about ancient covenants like this one!
