Absolutely! We have already noted that God intended the Sabbath to be a blessing to us and has asked us to call His Sabbath a "DELIGHT", but what else makes the Sabbath Day so important to God?
Most people understand that it is morally wrong to lie, steal, murder and to worship idols or take the Lord's name in vain etc, but the reason Satan is so successful in keeping so many from the Sabbath truth is because it is easy for him to convince the multitudes that it is not important. Sadly, most do not see that the Sabbath as important, as on the surface it does not appear to be morally wrong! The question is; does God see the Sabbath day as being important? If it is important to God then it has to be important to us!
"Speak you also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my Sabbaths you shall keep: for it is a SIGN between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD that does SANCTIFY you. ... 15 Six days may work be done; but in the Seventh is the Sabbath of rest, Holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the Sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death. 16 Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations, for a PERPETUAL covenant. 17 It is a SIGN between me and the children of Israel FOR EVER: for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed." Exodus 31:13-17
"And hallow my Sabbaths; and they shall be a SIGN between me and you, that you may know that I AM THE LORD YOUR GOD." Ezekiel 20:20
The Sabbath is a special "SIGN" that defines that we are God's children and He is our God, that sanctifies us and makes us Holy! It also defines that it is God that we worship, love and give our allegiance to. It is not a SIGN when we keep a secular day and profane God's Sabbath!! Is there anyone who does not want to be part of this SIGN?
Therefore, since the Sabbath is a SIGN and that we are God's children, if we reject His Sabbath, then aren't we rejecting God as our Father? And since the Sabbath is a SIGN that God sanctifies us, if we reject His Sabbath, then are we not also rejecting His sanctification?
Many Christians believe that there are only one or two denominations or groups that keep the true Sabbath day when there are in fact approximately five hundred Sabbath-keeping denominations that keep the true seventh day Sabbath and that number is growing...
