Should Christians Keep the Sabbath?

Either conditional love or unconditional love is a humanistic psychological term and not actually found in the Bible. God’s love, as revealed in the Bible, is eternal (Psalm 136), perfect (1 John 4:16-18), unfailing (Psalm 33:5, 143:8, Exodus 15:13), and infinite (Ephesians 3:16-19). God has given humanity the best gift fully manifested in the person of Jesus Christ, so that we may know His love and have a personal relationship with Him (Romans 8:31-32). God’s plan since the beginning has been to prosper us, to protect us, and to give us purpose in this life (Jeremiah 29:11). And even more, God, in His extraordinary love, grants those who receive and believe Jesus the permanent status as the [beloved] children of God (John 1:12). What a great blessing and privilege to be compassionately loved by the Heavenly Father with the likeness of a father-child relationship (Psalm 103:13), which lasts forever. (No father or parent can ever call his child, “my ex-child”).

I disagree in most parents loving their kid's unconditionally - I believe this is a fantasy and is untrue. There are always conditions that when met parents will stop loving their children. Almost every parent has commited un-loving acts towards their children in their lifetime. People are far from perfect. I've seen many "loving" mothers disown their children because they joined a criminal gang (which hurts their reputation) or people who have had a brain injury and completely forgotten who their children even are. The list of examples can go on.

Jesus willingly sacrificed himself for your sins as it was the will of his father. Before he was sacrificed everyone was destined for hellfire (second death) as we are all sons of Adam and sinners. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life (John 3:16).

God has given you the gift of free will. He wants you to freely love him like he loves you. He wants you to freely believe that he sent his only son to die a most horrible death as payment for your sins. He and Jesus have prepared a place for you in heaven. He wants you to live with them in paradise for eternity. But a paradise full of beings with free will can only exist in perfect harmony if they all willingly follow God's perfect law (10 commandments) and are righteous beings full of love and with no inequity. This can only be achieved by accepting God and Jesus, finding the error of your previous ways and slowly being purified with the help of God, Jesus and by the holy spirit. You also must be able to see through the deceptions of evil - hence Satan is being used like the pawn he is in this world to test us. This is our test to see if we are capable of doing all of this under our own free will.

Don't you see it. God is trying to fill his heaven full of righteous beings like him and his son Jesus to live with them for all eternity in perfect harmony. He does not want to exist alone - he wants to share his love and all that he has created with you.
