What is the importance of observing Sabbath or Day of the Lord

Importance of Sabbath - Why Christians observe Sabbath on Sundays

God has commanded to observe the seventh day of the week as Sabbath (shabath). For Jewish and non catholic christians it is  third law of covenant and for Catholics it is fourth law.

Jews observe Shabath from sunset on Friday to the fall of full darkness on Saturday. For christians Sabath is known as Day of the Lord and it is observed on Sundays  to honor the day Christ rose from the dead..


Holy Bible, book Exodus Chapter 31, versus 12 - 17 Says:

12 Then the Lord said to Moses, 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.

14 “‘Observe the Sabbath, because it is holy to you. Anyone who desecrates it is to be put to death; those who do any work on that day must be cut off from their people. 15 For six days work is to be done, but the seventh day is a day of sabbath rest, holy to the Lord. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day is to be put to death. 16 The Israelites are to observe the Sabbath, celebrating it for the generations to come as a lasting covenant. 17 It will be a sign between me and the Israelites forever, for in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day he rested and was refreshed.’” (Exodus Ch 31 12-17)
