How do we know that keeping the Sabbath is still important for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

Keeping the Sabbath is important for Christians as it is a practice rooted in both creation and the fulfillment of God's redemptive work in Christ.

The keeping of the Sabbath for Christians is grounded in the New Testament revelation that the first day of the week is the Lord's Day, honoring Christ's resurrection (John 20:1). It is emphasized in Hebrews 4:9-10 that there remains a 'keeping of a Sabbath to the people of God.' This practice is not merely a formality but represents the spiritual rest found in Christ's finished work. Christians are encouraged to observe this day as a means to remember redemption, gather for worship, and find rest from their labors, reflecting God's intention for humanity in the Sabbath commandment.
