The word Christian implies to follow Christ; meaning to follow his teaching, his example, and also to believe in his promise of Eternal life. Most people say that it’s enough to believe in Him to go to heaven, but in the bible says that “As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.” (James 2:26). What do we have to do? Good question. We don’t know unless someone shows us. Well, 2000 years ago Jesus came and said that we must do as He did:
John 13:13-15 "You call me 'Teacher' and 'Lord,' and rightly so, for that is what I am…..I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you.”
Then one of the things Jesus did when we talked on earth, and a very important one, was keeping the Sabbath day:
Luke 4:14-18 Jesus returned to
Jesus went as His custom to what we call now a days the church (synagogue) to keep the Sabbath day by reading from Isaiah (which is one of the books of the Old Testament). Custom means something that you regularly do. For Jesus to keep the Sabbath must have been so important that He made his own custom. Now let’s find out what is the Sabbath and why is it so important that is in the 10 commandments.
Exodus 20
The Ten Commandments
1 And God spoke all these words… 8 "Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your animals, nor the alien within your gates. 11 For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.
God blessed, made Holy, and gives us spiritual rest on the Sabbath day, for our own salvation. Does God need this day for Himself? Certainly He doesn’t need to receive Holiness since He is already Holy, and He is the one giving blessings instead of receiving blessings from us, and if God rested on the Seventh day then how would the world continue functioning? Everything would stop. God separated this day especially for our Spiritual blessings. Who said? God himself. But now days there is no Christian Church that keep the Sabbath day (Saturday) as Jesus did. Why? For the following reason:

I was searching a little bit for evidence of the abolishment of the Sabbath day and it has nothing to do with Jesus Christ Sacrifice on the cross. The above link give a little bit of explanation of How the Sabbath was abolished and that Sunday has nothing to do with Christian Faith. Who would realize that fact after about 1700 years of living under a lie (since AD 321)? The Sabbath day was abolished by Constantine (Roman Emperor) worshiper of the Sun in AD 321, and from there people started worshiping “their god” on Sunday. God the creator told us to worship Him on Saturday. Who are we to disobey God?
John 14:15
15"If you love me, you will obey what I command.
If we truly love God we must obey.
Exodus 31:13
13 "Say to the Israelites, 'You must observe my Sabbaths. This will be a sign between me and you for the generations to come, so you may know that I am the LORD, who makes you holy.
The only church that obeys 100% the teaching of the bible is
