God Owns the Land
Commentators explain that the sabbath for the land was a powerful, recurring reminder that God is the ultimate owner of all things. Just as the weekly sabbath acknowledges God as Creator, the land's septennial rest declared that the Israelites were merely tenants or stewards of His property. This principle encourages believers today to hold their possessions loosely, resist covetousness, and manage their resources as stewards on behalf of the Lord.
