Here is where you contradict yourself in your own words below.
God said He would write His law in the hearts and minds of His people in the New Covenant.
Right in the Ten Commandments that God wrote with His own finger.
Why would God write the same commandment twice?
Once in the law and then again on our hearts?
God would not write 'thou shall not covet' on a person's heart.
It seems obvious that God would write love on our hearts!

Why does God have to repeat Himself for one to obey as if God in the OT is a different God in the New Testament When He says I do not change.
The Sabbath commandment didn’t end in the NC, still a commandment for God’s faithful
Luke 23:56 Then they returned and prepared spices and fragrant oils. And they rested on the Sabbath according to the commandment.
God only gave a number and a name to one day-and claimed it as His.
Exo 20:10 but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God.
Which is why Heb 4: 9 There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God;
Which literally translates into the keeping of the Sabbath.
sabbatismos: a sabbath rest
Original Word: σαββατισμός, οῦ, ὁ
Part of Speech: Noun, Masculine
Transliteration: sabbatismos
Phonetic Spelling: (sab-bat-is-mos')
Definition: a sabbath rest
Usage: a keeping of the Sabbath, a Sabbath rest.
The fact we see the Sabbath mentioned over 60 times in the NT shows it never ended. God kept, Jesus kept, the apostles kept, His faithful followers kept, and we should too.
While you might be looking for a commandment to obey God, God‘s people obey Him through faith and love. We have to have room for faith and to live by every Word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. No where does scripture say God abrogated His Sabbath commandment. I would be more concerned where that Text is,, especially if its the one commandments Gid said to Remember and is holy and blessed by God. The only commandment that points to the God of creation Exo 20:11 there by design.
Guess we will find out soon enough if forgetting something God asked us to Remember, will be okay with God. After all a day is just a day, just like a tree was just a tree in the garden.

I am stunned that you would make that claim?
The instruction for the Gentile Christians given in Acts 15 makes no mention of the law.
Not even one of the ten commandments.
You have not read the scripture have you.
In all the places in the N.T the one place that the ten words should be mentioned
is Acts 15.

I will be honest with you, I fear for you, You have rejected the words of God and have adopted a false doctrine. Even apostle Paul says the law is good and Just. Why on earth to you believe the commandments are not valid. Jesus made it clear that we have to follow the commandments to have eternal life. the commandments will be followed by all in heaven. It is not for any man s to change what GOD himself has ordained
I will pray for you, and ask God's to make you understand.
Please read my signature below, some verses that confirm what I say are there.

Jesus said His Second Coming would be like the days of Noah. Sadly, so many people didn’t believe (be-live) and nothings really changed. It’s really hard to reason when one uses their own words against the Holy Scriptures as if they are the same.
You’re right God Himself ordained, no greater Authority!

You might consider what the scripture says and not what we want it to say because our words are not scripture, they might be important to us, but they do not equal God's Word.
We are told the carnally minded are not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. Rom 8: 7 Because the [c]carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be.
Jesus said many believers will say Lord Lord on that great day, but He will say depart from Me those who practice lawlessness Mat 7:23
We see this play our in Rev 22:14-15 and the commandments Jesus is referring to.
Its one thing to slip and fall and ask for forgiveness its another not to even allow God to define His own law, which He did, wrote it with His own finger and called them My commandments. Exo 20:6

Do non-believers call Jesus Lord Lord?
‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’
And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’
1 John 2:3 Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. 4 He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

People who believe in God and understand scripture at different levels isn't lawlessness.
There have been and will be Christians, who may believe one thing about scripture. Then 20 years later have a completely different belief about it. God has patience for everybody's comprehension abilities and that can grow overtime.

Sometimes. But many Christians come to Jesus and want to stay the same, but what we need is a conversion and to be transformed in His image. Its one thing to say I struggle with sin and hard for me to keep His commandments, but I think its quite different to not even allow God to define His own law and to define sin. Thats what Rom 8:7-8 is referring to. They are not subject to God's law nor indeed can be. Its really not a good spot to be in. If we love Jesus we would want to change and follow Him. If we need help ask Him, He hears us when we ask that is according to His will.
1 John 5:14 Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.
