John
I see the Sabbath in a different way to what is being discussed (I think). To me, one who is born again is not under the law. They enter God’s rest – which is a walk of faith.

No disagrement with this being 'a part' of the whole. The Hebrews 11:13 needs to be seen in the proper truth as these saved ones as being dead. In other words they had died [IN the faith]. Such as Romans 8:1 finds us required to be "IN CHRIST"! Yet with just a part, we do not have the Whole of the Everlasting Gospel, and are not "IN" Christ, but are outside when understood.

As Hebrews 4 says “There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God's rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from his. Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following their example of disobedience.â€Â

And Hebrews Sabbath Rest surely finds one at rest & with peace while "IN CHRIST"! Yet, how could one be Born Again & 'teach' & 'Violate' what the Godhead COMMANDS by the Word of God, and by Their INSPIRED of the HOLY SPIRITS writters? Not to mention God as the Father sending Christ to MAGNIFY the [COMPLETE ROYAL ETERNAL COVENANT] of Theirs? James 2:8-10 & Isaiah 42:21. But the 1/2 of the Gospel 'So far' in the above seems correct?
Yet, one is not a sinner working as directed six days of a seven day week as directed!! And God REQUIRES no non/scriptural work on [Their Day!] One would not live for long if they applied this to a SEVEN DAY WEEK every day and for all your days!! Which if taught as some teach, would need to be the REAL REQUIREMENT of never working! And it does not take any 'maturity' to know this, just the needed requirement of being Born Again! Mind rebirth. (1 John 4:6)

So we don’t strive to live by a code – we walk in the Spirit and as Romans 2 says, ‘Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law, since they show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts now accusing, now even defending them.’
