From The Ten Commandments—What happened?
Righteousness is imputed to me through faith; that is, the perfect righteousness of Jesus Christ. Therefore, I do what is righteous (1 John 3:7). I live according to my new identity given to me through Romans 4:5.
You should know that I preach that if anyone seeks to enter the kingdom through law-keeping, they must keep the law perfectly from conception into eternity (Galatians 3:10, James 2:10, Matthew 5:48).
And that the only other alternative is to have Jesus' perfect life substituted for yours as He took the penalty for your sins and His perfect righteousness is applied to your account.
However, once that righteousness is applied to your account, you are not devoid of the Holy Spirit. For you have received Him by faith (Galatians 3:14).
And if you are born again, the love of the Lord is shed abroad in your heart through the Holy Ghost (Romans 5:5).
This love is a practical love (1 John 3:17-18) and is the fulfilling of the righteousness of the law within you (Romans 13:8-10, Galatians 5:14, 1 John 5:3, 2 John 1:6, Romans 8:4).
You cannot violate the law if you are bearing the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23).
This is a righteousness of God apart from the law that is attested to by the law and the prophets (Romans 3:21).
It comes not through attempting to obey a set of do's and don'ts (crossing your t's and dotting your i's); but through having a relationship with the Holy Spirit wherein you are obedient to the promptings of His love in your life.
In this, Jesus will be living His perfect life in you and through you (Galatians 2:20).
But if you should fail, stumble, or fall, Jesus' grace is there to cover you (Romans 4:7-8, 1 John 2:1).
Nevertheless we do not have to stumble or fall (Jude 1:24, 2 Peter 1:10, 1 John 2:10)...we can walk in freedom and victory by the power of the Holy Ghost.
