It's a commandment, and yes, it's healthy to follow the commandments I suppose.
As far as not following that commandment to the tee sending us to hell? I honestly don't know, I just know I'm going to try to say on the safe side until I'm convinced otherwise.
We do not need to follow Jesus out of fear of him. If you believe observing the Sabbath is pleasing to Jesus and that he commanded it, then observe it because you *love* him, not because you're scared to death he will punish you or send you to hell if you don't. That's not what his sacrifice was all about. He freed us from the fear and death of the law. Any observance of the law is a loving response to *his* love through the Holy Spirit, and not because we are required to earn our way into his favor. We can't, which is why we needed him to save us in the first place.
