Hebrews 4:9-11 states that the people of God enter the rest through faith in Christ to designate a day of the week as "The Christian Sabbath." Is a misuse of Scripture and abuse of exegesis and can also lead to legalism placing heave burdens on people but at the end of the day it is a matter of Christian liberty but as PAul said in Romans 14:17 "The Kingdom of God is not eating and drinking but rightousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit" also in Chapter 14 verse 6: "He who observes the day observes it to the Lord and he who does not observe the day, to the Lord he does not observe it. He who eats eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he who does not eat, to the Lord he does not eat and gives thanks to God". Just something to keep in mind as concerns the sabbath.
