Our works as in living for our flesh. It doesn't mean literal doings. As in walking to far and such. If it was that then going to church would be breaking the sabbath. Whenever we receive the Holy Ghost we are at rest from our own works. Our carnal selves. We were crucified with Christ
Gal 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
It is not our lives we live anymore, we surrendered OUR WORKS (will,life) and we live in Christ as he does in us.
Heb 4:10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.

We still keep the sabbath but in the New Testament it is a spiritual sabbath.
The Old Testament sabbath is a physical sabbath for the Jews to take a rest.The New Testament sabbath is a spiritual sabbath and it is a spiritual rest.
When you have the Holy Spirit you are keeping the sabbath by receiving that spiritual rest.
The Old Testament sabbath was only given to the Jews.
The Bible says that which is first is natural and then spiritual.First a physical sabbath then a spiritual sabbath.
11For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.
12To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear(Isaiah 28:11-12).
In the New Testament it is spiritual sabbath and is a spiritual rest replacing the physical sabbath and the physical rest that was given to the Jews.
14Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; 15And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
16Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
17Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ(Colossians 2:14-17).
The Bible says that Jesus took the ordinances of Israel and nailed them to His cross taking them out of the way.
That is because those were physical ordinances that were given until Christ came and then it is spiritual.
Those ordinances could not save people until Christ came and gave us spiritual salvation.Those ordinances kept them right with God but could not give them spiritual salvation.When Christ came then their soul went to heaven that were right in the Old Testament.
Jesus took the physical ordinances out of the way and that is why the Bible says let no man judge you concerning the physical ordinances including the sabbath days which means they cannot tell you to keep the ordinances of Israel.
We do not go by the physical ordinances of Israel including the sabbath days but we always have to obey God's moral laws which the 10 commandments are moral laws so we have to always obey God's 10 commandments.You obey the commandment of keeping the sabbath by receiving the Holy Spirit.
Let no man judge you means they cannot tell you to keep the ordinances of Israel including the sabbath days which is a shadow of things to come but the body is of Christ.When you have the Spirit of Christ you are part of the body of Christ and it is now a spiritual sabbath.
The Bible says we do not void out the law but we establish the law.
We still have to keep the law but in the Old Testament they could not do it because they could not receive the Spirit to overcome the flesh completely.
In the New Testament we can receive the Spirit where we can overcome the flesh and keep the law in which the law of keeping the sabbath is a spiritual rest.
The Bible says if you are led of the Spirit you are not under the law.This does not mean that you do not have to obey the law for we must always obey God's moral laws.
A Spirit led life will not sin.You are not under the law if you are led by the Spirit because you are not sinning therefore the law cannot touch you for prosecution.
When we receive the Spirit we still have to keep God's moral laws which we can do by the Spirit where in the Old Testament they could not keep the law because they did not have the Spirit.
Jesus said He went to prepare a place for us which is spiritual.The Jews celebrated the making of this earth which is natural by a physical sabbath.We celebrate the making of the place that Jesus made which is spiritual by a spiritual sabbath.
God said enter in to my rest.
In the Old Testament they went by a physical sabbath.In the New Testament we go by a spiritual sabbath.
When you receive the Holy Spirit then you obey the moral law of keeping the sabbath and it is a spiritual sabbath.

very strange understanding.
you cannot tell if someone is spiritual or not by whether they keep the law. in fact, jesus said that those who are born of the spirit are like the wind, which you can feel as it passes, but you do not know where it came from, nor where it is going. when jesus walked this world, the best experts in the law found fault with him continually.

The sabbath day was given as a day of rest.God said in the New Testament the people who receive the Spirit that will be their rest a spiritual rest.
The Bible says that Jesus took the sabbath days out of our way nailing them to His cross so we do not go by the physical sabbath anymore.
Since we always have to obey God's moral laws which we can do by the Spirit and we don't go by a physical rest sabbath then we must have to keep a spiritual sabbath which would be when we receive the Spirit.

The Bible says that the Jews had an advantage over the other nations because they were given the words of God to know God's ways.They were supposed to be a beacon of light for all people.
God gave the Jews the 10 commandments which are moral laws.When Jesus came He said keep the 10 commandments.The other laws were ordianances that would be done away with when Jessus came.Those include the physical ordinances like meats and drinks,sabbath days and holy days.Jesus did not take the 10 commandments out of the way.
16Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
17Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ(Colossians 2:16-17).
Jesus never took the 10 commandments out of the way only the physical ordinances of Israel out of the way.We always have to obey God's moral laws.The Bible says we do not do away with the law but we establish it.
