How do we know the Sabbath commandment is still applicable to Christians?

Answered in 1 source

The New Testament reaffirms the Sabbath commandment rather than abolishing it, indicating its relevance for today.

The applicability of the Sabbath commandment for Christians is underscored by Jesus’ teachings in Matthew 12, where He neither denies the observance of the day nor nullifies its significance. Instead, He corrects misinterpretations and traditions that have misrepresented the Sabbath, preserving its essence. The New Testament does not advocate a dismissal of the commandment; instead, it clarifies the nature of true observance, focusing on mercy and necessity while affirming the command’s foundational truth as part of God's eternal law.
