We do not keep the Sabbath to be saved. Rather, we keep the Sabbath as an evidence of having experienced the saving power of Yahuwah's grace. It is an established fact of the gospel that we can do nothing to merit salvation. No amount of "human good" or "works" can earn an iota of salvation (Isaiah 64:6). It is by faith alone in our Master and Savior’s free grace by which we are justified before Yahuwah. (Titus 3:5).

However, “What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? Can faith save him? . . . Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.” James 2:14, 17. Once we accept Yahushua as our personal Savior He immediately comes to dwell in our hearts, through His Holy Spirit, and replaces our stony hearts with new hearts. On this new heart He imprints His divine law (Hebrews 8:10).

When this divine transformation happens, man loses his old enmity to the law, and begins to rejoice in keeping Yahuwah's law (Psalms 40:8, Romans 8:4).

Within this context obedience becomes the evidence, or better said the "fruit" of our conversion, rather than the means of our salvation. Only now can we truly keep the law because we have been enabled by His transforming power; by His dwelling in our "new" hearts (2 Corinthians 5:17).

“Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. . . For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.” James 2:24, 26. We keep the law by His grace because we love Him and are in great awe at the cost He bore to bring us this second chance.

We keep the law by His redeeming grace because it reflects the beauty of our Savior. John 14:15, 21.

Oh, what an experience it is once we become conformed to His will through His indwelling in us (2 Corinthians 3:18).
