Jesus re-stated the Sabbath command in the form “come to me all you who are heavy laden and I will give you rest”. The author to the Hebrews expands on this and very clearly links the Sabbath rest to faith, which we enter into through believing.
The irony is that we have to “labour to enter the rest” (Heb 4:11) which shows that faith is not purely passive. However it is through the power of the Spirit that we work, so it is really his work and not ours.
With regard to the Sabbath day, Paul is very clear in Col 2:16 that there is no more need to honour one day above another.
