Ezekiel 20:10-12
It is very clear to see that a major purpose of the Sabbath, apart from it being a sign, is that we might know God, which is eternal life (John 17:3)! If we are going to know God, the Sabbath must be kept. This passage ties the two of them together. Without knowing God, there is no eternal life. The Sabbath, then, is a necessary fixture in having eternal life.
