Sabbath in the Bible - a Christian perspective
As a reminder of the seventh day of creation, when God rested from His work, God instituted the Sabbath day as the one day of the week that the Israelites were to keep holy. On the Sabbath, they were to focus on God and abstain from their regular work.

I am convinced that the Sabbath Day is on a Saturday, but my husband says it’s on Sunday. Sunday was actually the day that Jesus was resurrected. But, the Bible and the Ten Commandments states: ” To keep the Sabbath Holy”.
So How can I know for sure WHAT DAY IS the Sabbath day?
Old Testament says it is on Saturday. That is part of the Law of God. You are right about that part. But when Jesus, the Son of God, came to live and died for us He fulfilled the Law. And, He was resurrected on the third day after His crucifixion (Sunday) as your husband said. Since He fulfilled the Law already we (Christians) celebrate the Sabbath Day (Sunday) as the symbol of His Resurrection. The Ten Commandments states “To Keep the Sabbath day Holy but Jesus fuilled the Law so that’s why his resurrection took place and that’s a Sunday in regards to His new way because he finished the work when he died and rose again.
CKV27 has it, I think–the Old Testament Sabbath was the last day of the week, Saturday. But most Christians today worship on Sunday in acknowledgement of Jesus’ resurrection and the fulfillment of the law. I was doing some reading on this lately and found this essay on the Sabbath/Sunday issue helpful: http://www.kencollins.com/question-42.htm
Why would GOD wright the Sabbth commandment Himself on a tabet of stone.
Puppaface, God wrote the Sabbath commandment on the stone tablets because it was the law under which His people lived at the time. Christians today don’t deny the Sabbath teaching, but they feel it has been superseded by Jesus and the new covenant he offers us.
Roy says:
The New Covenant does not do away with the Sabbath, it just transfers the law of God into the hearts of his people instead of them being written on stone (Hebrews 8:10, 10:16). This gives people the ability to keep Gods commandments (Romans 3:31). You will finda lot of useful information about this here:
