For one the law wasn't given to Gentiles it was given to Israel. I wasn't given to JUSTIFY anyone for salvation.
Galatians 5:4. "Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; YE ARE FALLEN FROM GRACE."
Here's a few scriptures to study:
Please don't just read these Scriptures, Study them!! These are very important Scriptures that is ignored by some. Understanding these scriptures can help keep one from being deceived atleast in this area anyway.
Galatians 3:1-29.
Galatians Ch 4 and 5.
2 Corinthians 3:6-14.
Also study.
Hebrews 8:1-13 and
Hebrews 9:1-28.
It's interesting what you will find in Hebrews when ministering the first covenant. It WASN'T about just being obedient to the 10 commandments, There were services that had to be performed to extreme precision.
There was the high priest that ministered THOSE services under THAT covenant in a WORLDLY sanctuary. The services had to be rendered perfectly but they couldn't make you perfect. They had no effect on the heart of man. Men heart is incurably wicked. The new covenant where Christ is the High priest He came to give you a new Heart and the REST that the old covenant couldn't give. Because no one could keep or be justified by the old covenant.
Why is it that those who desire to add their means of justifying themselves they choose what they think is the easiest to do and not realize in their lusty heart they break the commandments.
James 2:10.
Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. Matthew 5:27-28.
I will share some reasons that I believe help me to strive to honor and keep Holy God's 7th Day Sabbath Command. Hopefully, others here can share the benefits that they may experience when following God's command for us to rest on this Day!
1. God commands us to keep the Sabbath
2. The Holy Sabbath is God's sign to His People
3. Jesus is the Lord of the Sabbath
4. Jesus Kept the Sabbath
5. We should obey God rather than men
6. The apostles and the first century church kept the Sabbath
7. The Sabbath reminds us of who our creator is
8. The Sabbath provides us with mental and physical rest
9. The Sabbath helps to deepen our faith
10. The Sabbath strengthens our relationships, with family, and brethren
11. The Sabbath brings us closer to God
12. The Sabbath provides dedicated time to draw closer to God.
13. The Sabbath provides us additional blessings from God
14. When we observe the Sabbath we also let our working animals rest on this day.
15. The Sabbath reminds us to help others.
16. The Sabbath reminds us to not be part of this world!
7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will NOT hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
I think it is pretty clear that using Gods name in cursing and swearing is forbidden. We praise His Name, as His children. We know in our hearts that it's wrong.
If you read through the prophetic books (Isaiah, Ezekiel etc) you will see the angelic beings in Heaven praising God. It impressed me when I read that.
If we can put God's Name in a swear and feel no shame, or nothing (in our hearts)__we are not born again.
John 3.
Read 1 Corinthians 12:3
People curse God every day. If we hear it endlessly, we might curse God too. That's why we are to separate ourselves away from that. I do ask people to not swear on Gods Name in my presence. They know it's wrong, but they still do it. Sometimes I have to excuse myself and go home.
Truly, it is a call to pray for people who do it without thinking.
I do not watch any TV or movies that speak Gods name as a curse. There are 100's of Christian Movies on YouTube: Jesus of Nazareth, Book of John movie, Paul, Peter. This kind of media can edify the Christian. We can learn. If something is unscriptural, we can spot it, if we know what scripture says.
People will respect us more if we ask them to not swear on God's Name. Truly we don't need to attend parties or other places where alcohol is being served because that's when self-control is diminished.
Scripture agrees with what Luke has spoken.
For one the law wasn't given to Gentiles it was given to Israel. I wasn't given to JUSTIFY anyone for salvation.

Study those chapters.
God bless.
28 So then the Son of man(Jesus Christ)is Lord of the sabbath also."
What does Sabbath mean? --> "rest" what gives you rest? -->Jesus Christ,,, If your not in the Lord, you get no rest, which is peace of mind.
Every day should be Sabbath day, but then there is a high Sabbath 15 day's after the spring equinox.
