There are no commands to keep the Sabbath in the New Testament.

I always get a kick out of people(and I am not saying you) who say this but then turns around and preach how you should tithe(or believe it ). I remember talking to a lady before we went to Church(she went to Church on Sundays and I see nothing with going to church on Sunday). Anyways, we were talking about the sabbath before hand and she said the sabbath is just in the O.T. well, we were in Church and the time came for the offering. The envolope(sp.) said tithes. I asked her if she believed in tithing. She said yes. I asked her where the tithing command was in the bible. She did not answer me.

There are no commands to keep the Sabbath in the New Testament.

God created the Sabbath, through Christ, at the beginning of creation (Genesis 2:2) in the old testament, which is also the inspired word of God.

Jesus said:

Mar 2:27 And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath.

The word translated "man" in this verse is the greek word:

444 anthropos anth'-ro-pos

from 435 and ops (the countenance; from 3700); man-faced, i.e. a human being:--certain, man.

It was created for all human beings else the Lord God Jesus Christ would surely have specified "it was made for the Jews", or "was made for Israel".

Since it was created by God in the old testament, affirmed by God in the New Testament, and kept by God in the flesh in the New Testament, I feel that I have no choice but to obey God.
