Subject: age of accountability

i would like to thank you for clarifying to me that the sabbath starts on Friday at sunset and ends Saturday at sunset. I am seeking truth by reading my bible and trusting in God. I feel strongly that he wants me to observe the sabbath. Maybe I am being prepared for something I don't know. This seems to be the only forum I have come accross that welcomes questions such as mine.

Even though I am a gentile i believe in God and Jesus and I follow the ten comandments. The ten conmandments are also for the gentiles. Romans 2:12God will punish the Gentiles when they sin, even though they never had God's written law. And he will punish the Jews when they sin, for they do have the law. 13For it is merely knowing the law that brings God's approval. Those who obey the law will be declared right in God's sight. 14Even when Gentiles, who do not have God's written law, instinctively follow what the law says, they show that in their hearts they know right from wrong. 15They demonstrate that God's law is written within them, for their own consciences either accuse them or tell them they are doing what is right. Romans 2:28 goes on to say For you are not a true Jew just because you were born of Jewish parents or because you have gone through the Jewish ceremony of circumcision. 29 No, a true Jew is one whose heart is right with God. And true circumcision is not a cutting of the body but a change of heart produced by God's spirit. Whoever has that kind of change seeks praise from God, not from people.
Now I know that the Jews are God's chosen people, but salvation was also given to us gentiles through Jesus Christ. We are also required to follows God's laws are we not? I want to follow his law of observing the sabbath. Acts 28:28 "Therefore let it be known to you that the salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles, and they will hear it!"
