In the view of the Pharisees, there was no difference between breaking and not keeping. The Sabbath had become more of a Day of Rules than a Day of Rest. It became a lot of work to rest on the seventh day. That was missing the point.
We are Saved by Grace which is “unmerited favor”. We cannot deserve anything.
That’s an accusation of the Pharisees, not God. The Bible is clear that Christ kept the Sabbath and was sinless.
