Well i figure because Jesus was keeping the 7th day of the week that He more than likely got it right.
LUKE 4 [14] And JESUS returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about.[15] And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.[16] And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, AS HIS CUSTOM WAS, he WENT INTO THE SYNAGOGUE ON THE SABBATH DAY, and stood up for to read.

But that was in the previous dispensation. <G>
Actually, think the writer of Hebrews is telling us that Christ is our Sabbath rest, in that we no longer have the oblgation/requirement to keep the law as under the old covenant, but to rest from our efforts to get right with God and instead trust in what he did on our behalf, as the law and all of its obligations and things against us were nailed to Him on the cross!
You keep posting an antinomian position.Christians are law keepers in Christ.
Love is the FULFILLING of the LAW.You are posting the same errors over and over and are not responding to the scriptures offered to you.
We do not keep the commandments in order to be saved/justified or go to heaven but we keep his commandments because we love him.
We are not under the administration of the Old Covenant and its commandments but under the administration of the New Covenant which already has the law fufilled in the heart given us in regeneration as the law is written upon it.
Love does not fulfil the law for justification as justification by law requires sinless perfection and his enemies have no capability or desire to love God.
Love is the standard by which children of God are judged for blessings and rewards because only children are in a relationship of love to the Father.
We love him because he first loved us and the law of God is written on our hearts in regeneration and thus fulfilled in heart. Our inward and outward actions are judged according to the motive of that new inward man.
However, apart from the power of the indwelling Spirit we may have all the motive to do good but are incapable of expressing that desire in our life (Rom. 7:14-25).
Brother,
This post is music to my eyes. There are way too many "Law huggers" on here. The Law was abolished in Christ, in that we now are kept by His power. Under the Law, they had to keep it. Now, Grace keeps us. IMHHO, you're spot on here. :thumbs::thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:

Grace trumps the Law all day, every day.
NEW TESTAMENT "LAW HUGGIN" SCRIPTURES
DO YOU WANT ETERNAL LIFE
MATT.19 [16] And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?[17] And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS.[18] He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
DO YOU KNOW GOD
1 JOHN 2 [1] My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: [2] And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. [3] AND HEREBY WE DO KNOW THAT WE KNOW HIM, IF WE KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS. [4] He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
HAVE YOU BEEN TAUGHT “JUST BELIEVE” AND YOU WILL BE SAVED
JAMES 2 [19] Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: THE DEVILS ALSO BELIEVE, and tremble.
DO YOU LOVE GOD
1 JOHN 5 [1] Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him. [2] BY THIS WE KNOW THAT WE LOVE THE CHILDREN OF GOD, WHEN WE LOVE GOD, AND KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS. [3] For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
DO YOU WANT GODS HOLY SPIRIT
JOHN 14 [15] If ye love me, KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS.[16] And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;[17] Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
HAS HEAVEN AND EARTH PASSED – YIKES! WHAT AM I STANDING ON?
MATT.5 [17] Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.[18] For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
WANT TO BE ONE OF GODS SAINTS
REV.14 [12] Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS of God, and the faith of Jesus
BEEN TAUGHT DUE TO FAITH WE NEED NOT KEEP GODS COMMANDMENTS
ROMANS 3 [31] Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
WANT TO ENTER THE CITY - THE 1000yr PERIOD OF REST
REV.22 [14] Blessed are they that DO HIS COMMANDMENTS, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city
IS GODS SABBATH COMMANDMENT GRIEVOUS TO YOU
1JOHN.5 [1] Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.[2] By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.[3] For this is the love of God, that WE KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS: AND HIS COMMANDMENTS ARE NOT GRIEVOUS.
JAMES 2 [10] For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and YET OFFEND IN ONE POINT, HE IS GUILTY OF ALL.[11] For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.[12] So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.
Do you believe keeping the law is necessary to be justified, saved and enter heaven?
OR
Do you beleive that saved, justified, heaven going people keep the commandments of God out of love for God and for rewards in heaven?
I believe you must observe to keep Gods 10 commandments {you will fall short, filthy rags} in order to recieve the free gift of grace and enter the kingdom.

Ya see i dont believe David Koresh, Jim Jones {the koolaid kid} or Hitler who in his youth as a believer enrolled in a monestary to become a catholic priest will recieve the free gift. Do you? Why not?
Answer the question and quit side stepping it!
>Do you beleive that saved, justified, heaven going people keep the commandments of God out of love for God
This is what the Heidelberg Catechism teaches.
>and for rewards in heaven?
God takes bribes?
