Once you truly experience the love of God in His holy seventh day (now known as Saturday); you will be so excited to prepare, be made holy of God daily, and keep it holy when it comes. You will look forward to worshiping God in Spirit and in truth from one Sabbath to another.
God created. The seventh day he rested: stopped, ceased His creation work. God blessed His seventh day. God sanctified His seventh day: He set it apart holy, set it apart for holy use—He set it apart holy and from all the other days which are not blessed nor sanctified. Only the Sabbath, the seventh day is blessed and holy as is marriage —God blessed and sanctified holy—set apart holy, for holy use the seventh day and marriage.
God provided and gave to us all our need that we fulfill His law living out His purpose. He created us giving every soul (a live person) freedom of choice: We may choose to love Him keeping (to cherish, to protect…) and observing (believing on Jesus, doing His word, love in action) His commandments, which include His law of love: law of liberty; or, we may choose not to love Him and disobey His commandments, His law including the whole word of God.
Jesus Christ did His good work on the seventh day—His Sabbath: He made whole the soul: He delivered many from bondage to sin and death; He clothed them in their right mind casting out demons speaking the Word; He relieved pain and suffering; He gave the blind sight. Yeshuah (Jesus) is Lord of the seventh day: The Sabbath. Jesus Christ healed on the seventh day: Sabbath. Jesus Christ read, preached and taught the holy scriptures to all people who were willing to hear and receive Him. Christ fulfilled the Ten Commandment law: The love of Elohim (The Godhead: God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit); The law of God’s love; The law of liberty (Freedom). His disciples continued in His love after His ascension to the third Heaven.
Jesus fulfillment of the law is His example unto us that we can by faith and the power of the Holy Spirit do the same that He did. The Old and the New Testament are the testimonies of God, the Spirit of Prophecy, they are the Holy Word of God; they are His instruction in righteousness unto us that we hear them, know them, receive understanding from the Holy Spirit that we have His wisdom, and live justly, His righteousness by faith.
Remember?
“Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.”
Genesis 2:1-3 KJV
Pay close attention to the fact that God is speaking to Moses what to speak to His people. All ten commands of the law of God is the love of God, His character: Love God with all our heart (mind), with all our soul (our very life, our very existence), and with all our might (our human effort, what is possible for us to do—all we can possibly do); we love others by our obedience to God in the last six commands.
God’s holy day—the Lord’s day: The seventh day (Sabbath—in every language is seventh), rest: to cease, to stop…
Remember?
“And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness. And Pharaoh said, Who is the LORD, that I should obey his voice to let Israel go? I know not the LORD, neither will I let Israel go. And they said, The God of the Hebrews hath met with us: let us go, we pray thee, three days’ journey into the desert, and sacrifice unto the LORD our God; lest he fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword.”
Exodus 5:1, 3 KJV
“And Moses said, Eat that to day; for to day is a sabbath unto the LORD: to day ye shall not find it in the field. Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the sabbath, in it there shall be none. And it came to pass, that there went out some of the people on the seventh day for to gather, and they found none. And the LORD said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws? See, for that the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day. So the people rested on the seventh day.”
Exodus 16:25-30 KJV
“Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.”
Exodus 31:15 KJV
“I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; and shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: but the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.”

“I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage. Thou shalt have none other gods before me. Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth: thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me, and shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments. Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain: for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee. Six days thou shalt labour, and do all thy work: but the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest as well as thou. And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the LORD thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the LORD thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day.”

Remember?
“If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.”

John 9:14 KJV
“And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath. Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God. And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God.”
Acts 13:42-44 KJV
“And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.”
Acts 18:4 KJV
Remember?
“Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, If they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works. And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest. Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief: again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, Harden not your hearts. For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.”
Hebrews 4:1-11 KJV
Remember, we who shall worship God in the new heaven and the new earth from Sabbath to Sabbath. The days remain one through seven. The seventh day remains blessed and sanctified—holy.
Peace be unto you. HalleluYah!
