Many of the posts written in favor of Sabbath keeping are beautifully inspiring and devotional.
The best argument in favor of Sabbath keeping is that you can't dismiss the 10 commandments as being "the old covenant" and therefore done away with.
They are as Bro Avery says "The Royal Law"
If love is the fulfillment of the Law, then Sabbath keeping with it's concern for sacred time set apart for loving God and resting with family, friends, animals, and community seems like an act of love.
It is sad that our society doesn't take time to slow down for Sabbath rest.

We are to love God and our neighbor. All the various instructions in the Bible are explanations of HOW we are to love God and our neighbor. Thus, love is the fulfilling of the law, because love does what the law said to do. "Love worketh no ill to his neighbor", meaning the one who actually loves their neighbour will do the things God said to do in regard to our neighbor. The same goes for loving God.
