A shabbos goy is permitted because God did not command non Jews to rest on shabbos, only Jews. (Jews believe that God is God of all, and all will go to heaven if righteous, but the special laws described in the Bible apply only to Jews). There is a rabbinical prohibition against directly asking a non jew to do something for you on shabbos except in case of great need or when you can arrange that the non jew will benefit from the action too.
