"Is every day, alike, to be holy, for us?"


A number of people have often challenged me why I break the commandment:

Exodus 20:8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

Apparently, if I gather with the rest of our church, on the first day of the week, to worship Jesus,
that is somehow not holy.
Is it only holy if it is done on the 7th day of the week?
Or is it unholy because we don't gather on the 7th day? 
For Christians, we're certainly not to have one day holy and six days profane, are we?
Or is every day, alike, to be holy, for us?
So, whether we worship together, or we eat at home, or go to work, shouldn't we consider all of it as unto the LORD?
How can maintaining our testimony at work be considered profane, and not holy?
Especially if we do it in the Spirit?
Nothing that we do, or nowhere that we go, "should be" unholy, since we have the indwelling of the Spirit.
If we violate that, we grieve the Spirit, and sin, and we need to repent and confess it to the LORD.
However, we should not only have one day holy per week, with 6 days unholy - that would be horrible.

It is odd, that many refer to people going to church on the sabbath, as commandment keepers.
Kind of a works based salvation, but totally missing a prophetic picture which that sabbath portrays.
We are to be saved by grace through faith in Jesus:

Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
  9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

The sabbath is to have absolutely no works in it, which is a picture of the gospel.

But then to think that the work of "keeping the sabbath" somehow merits salvation, is crazy.
Since salvation is not of works, like the sabbath is not of works,
rather than an inverted picture where there is works, the work of keeping the sabbath by going to church then,
is actually a contradiction, employing works when there is to be no works?
