God [Jesus Christ - John 1:3] made the Sabbath day on the day after He recreated the formless and void earth, to sustain man, in six days... on the seventh day.

"...and God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it [sanctify: to set apart for holy use]: because that in it He had rested from all His work which God created and made." (Gen.2:3)

"...The Sabbath was made for man [not the Jews], and not man for the Sabbath: therefore the Son of Man is Lord also of the Sabbath." (Mark 2:27-28)

God explained the purpose for keeping the Sabbath by saying, "In six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy" (Ex. 20:11). God gave His people the Sabbath as the sign by which God would recognize them as His people (Ezek. 20:11-17; Isa. 56:1-7).

Testament times, the apostles kept the Sabbath day by worshiping God in spirit and in truth, following Jesus Christ's example. Jesus kept the Sabbath as His custom. (Luke 4:16) The apostles kept the Sabbath day as their custom(Acts 17:2) As time passed, the faith of the Christians weakened, and they began to accept the customs of the sun-god worshipers. During this turn-over, they even began to rest and to worship on the first day of the week [Sunday]. In A.D. 321, Constantine, a Roman emperor, decreed an edict. The Church of God was established on the foundation of the apostles who followed the teachings of Jesus Christ, and it has not changed since its inception. The true Church follows the laws which Jesus and the apostles observed. The saints, who will be saved on the last day, the day of God's judgment, are those who follow in Jesus' footsteps. The Sabbath day, one of Christ's footmarks, is a very precious commandment of God. (Mat 7:21)
