You do what your conscience tells you to do.If a person could keep all of the Law ( and they can’t) they would be wasting their time as far as Salvation is concerned....” By The Works Of The Law, NO Flesh shall be Justified) It’s Faith in the Blood Of Jesus That Saves.Plus Nothing.
Obedience to the Law will get you blessed ...if you do not steal, for example, you will be blessed by not going to jail.....
Yes, Obedience to the Law will get you blessed, but it will not Save.Why not? Because it was “ weak and useless” according to Paul....It had NO POWER to Save....it could only Condemn..
All the POWER to Save is in the Gospel Found In 1Cor15:1-4.......Trade in your well-intentioned attempts to keep the Law That was never intended to be kept ( Paul said neitherche nor his father’s could keep it) and start relying on something better to lead and guide you—- the Holy Spirit.....you can trust Him to “ blow the whistle”, when you get out of line.....give the Law to somebody that still needs it......that would be an unregenerate man or woman who has yet to let that Law serve it’s intended purpose which was to “ close your mouth” about being able to keep it, and let it reveal to you that you are a Sinner in need of a Savior....That is the Conviction Of The Holy Spirit.....once your Heart is Convicted, then one can Repent by NOT Turning “FROM” Sin ( although that can and will be a part of it AFTER you get Saved) But by Turning “ TO” God ......
“ Turn to Me and I will Turn to You”...... Salvation is just THAT simple.....If you “Turn from Sin” without involving a Turn to God First...you are just spinning your wheels uselessly and you are still Lost......
The Prerogative to Save MUST begin with God ( “ no man comes to God unless the Spirit draw him) The Spirit “ draws” men by the Conviction Of Sin. That Conviction gives one a Contrite Heart.....That Contrite Heart Turns to God or REPENTS toward God and with the “ Mind Change” (Repentance) that he is a Sinner That MUST have a Savior because he Can’t keep the Law .....he puts his Faith in the One that DID keep the Law and thereby became the one who was Crucified, dead and Buried and rose from the dead in order to get you Saved.... all YOU Gotta do is simply Believe it......
Just do God’s Will.....” Believe in the One that He sent” ....Obey God’s New Testament Commandment, which is to REST in the Gospel ....If you ain’t “ Resting” , you are Working and God won’t have it.....Ask Cain......or the Pharisees ...it’s not what you are doing “ FOR” God that Saves.....it’s what God did for YOU....He Gave His Son .....Simply Believe it.....

What I believe is written on our hearts is not the Ten Commandments per se with the 4th commandment, but what I call the eternal laws of God that the Ten Commandments were fashioned after, but didn't quite measure up to their depth or could make on perfect.
Mark 12:
28 Then one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, perceiving that He had answered them well, asked Him, “Which is the first commandment of all?”
29 Jesus answered him, “The first of all the commandments is: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. 30 And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment. 31 And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”
