Paul is talking about both Justification & Sanctification
The TWO go hand in hand as True Righteousness by Faith
*In Exodus 20:8-11 SANCTIFICATION/Obedience - (For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth,...But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work,..) Physical Rest.
---Or--- as Paul says For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works. Hebrews 4:4
* In Deuteronomy 5:12-15 JUSTIFICATION/Grace - (And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the LORD thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the LORD thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day.) Spiritual Rest.
---Or--- as Paul says For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. Hebrews 4:10
SUMMARY: If one has true Repentance and is Justified, then one will become truly Sanctified willingly....the SABBATH is that Mark...and is what the Mark of the Beast is over--God's Sabbath vs. a Counterfeit Sabbath.
Literal Sabbath
For if Jesus had given them rest,
then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.
There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
Spiritual Sabbath
For he that is entered into his rest,
he also hath ceased from his own works,
as God did from his.

Sabbath is the Glue of God's Law....the Inverse Relationship of Justification & Sanctification

Spiritual Sabbath

Hebrews 4:8-10
Those who are truly Sanctified will obey God and physically keep the Sabbath
Those who are Justified through TRUE FAITH will spiritually rest in His Grace
