The Bible states that there is a penalty for breaking the Sabbath commandment. The apostle James said, For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all (James 2:10). This means that those who do not keep the Sabbath day are guilty of breaking every one of the ten commandments, including idolatry, adultery, and murder. In the past, the law in North Dakota stated that the fine for Sabbath-breaking was not less than one dollar or more than ten dollars for each offence. Other laws have been passed against Sabbath breaking, for example, by the Puritans.

North Dakota's law on Sabbath breaking
Over the years, North Dakota lawmakers and voters have slowly peeled back Sunday restrictions. In 1991, the Legislature voted to allow Sunday afternoon shopping, and the repeal of the Sunday morning ban narrowly passed the Republican-controlled Legislature in 2019. However, some Sunday restrictions remain in place, such as the ban on car dealers selling motor vehicles and the ban on alcohol sales until 11 am and noon for on-sale and off-sale, respectively.

The Bible states that there are consequences for breaking the Sabbath commandment. In Ezekiel 20:21, God promises to pour his fury out on those who pollute his Sabbaths. In Ezekiel 20:23-24, God promises that he will scatter his people who do not keep his commandments, including the Sabbath day. In Ezekiel 20:24-25, God says that he will give them bad statutes and judgments that will not give them life.
Jesus died to redeem us from "all lawlessness" (Titus 2:14), because he hates lawlessness (Hebrews 1:9). The apostle James said, "For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all" (James 2:10). This means that those who do not keep the Sabbath day are guilty of breaking every one of the ten commandments, including idolatry, adultery, and murder. Idolaters and adulterers cannot inherit the kingdom of God (1 Corinthians 6:9-10; Galatians 5:19-21). No murderer has eternal life abiding in him (1 John 3:15).

The Lord's Day Observance Society in the British Isles
The Lord's Day Observance Society was a British organisation that campaigned for stricter observance of Sunday as a day of rest and worship. The Society believed that keeping the Sabbath day holy was a commandment from God, and that breaking this commandment was a sin. According to the Bible, the penalty for sin is death and the lake of fire (Gehenna), which is called the second death (Revelation 20:14). In Mosaic law, Israelites who worked on the Sabbath faced the death penalty.
Jesus, as Lord of the Sabbath (Matthew 12:8), had the authority to permit others to break the Sabbath, as he did with the man at the pool of Bethesda (John 5:8) and his disciples (Matthew 12:2). However, he himself never broke it, and only did so when there was a human need, operating in the spirit of the law rather than the letter.
The Lord's Day Observance Society believed that by keeping the Sabbath day holy, people would be following God's commandments and avoiding the consequences of sin. They may have also believed that breaking the Sabbath was equivalent to breaking all ten commandments, including idolatry, adultery, and murder, which would result in eternal damnation.
