More often than not Seventh-day Adventists’ view of the Sabbath is somehow skewed to Genesis 2 and Exodus 20’s rendition of Him as the Creator. While our introduction to the Sabbath speaks primarily of creation, the clearly bigger issue that the Sabbath addresses is that it is a mark of allegiance to God, not only as our creator (Ex. 20: 8-11), but as our sanctifier (Ex. 31: 13), and also as our deliverer (Deut. 5: 15); it speaks to His sovereignty and ultimate right to call all of us to His judgement bar (Rev. 14: 7).
