"The Sabbath was the consecration of one day of the weekly period
to God as the Author of the universe and of time. The day thus being the Lord's, it required that man should abstain from working for his own ends and interests, since by working he would appropriate the day to himself, and that he should devoted his activity to God by special acts of positive worship."

Well Put Catholic Encyclopedia....BUT....WHY DO YOU NOT OBEY?
Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy....But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy God:
Exodus 20:8,10
"*God placed man under law, as an indispensable condition of his very existence.
*He was a subject of the divine government, and there can be no government without law.
*God might have created man without the power to transgress His law; He might have withheld the hand of Adam from touching the forbidden fruit; but in that case man would have been, not a free moral agent, but a mere automaton."
Patriarchs & Prophets p.49 E.G.W.
