1. "The Sabbath was made for mankind" not "Just the Jews" Mark 2:27 - according to the Messiah.
2. Rom 2:26 So if the uncircumcised man keeps the requirements of the Law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision? 27 And he who is physically uncircumcised, if he keeps the Law, will he not judge you who though having the letter of the Law and circumcision are a transgressor of the Law? 28 For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh. 29 But he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that which is of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter; and his praise is not from men, but from God.

Which is why -- when this question was brought up to the Jewish leaders of the Christian church in Jerusalem - in Acts 15 - they said gentiles need not convert to Judaism -- all they need to do is "keep the commandments of God" (1 John 5:2-3, 1 Cor 7:19) - the moral law of God and abstain from blood when eating food.
