I think you misunderstood me. I do not link salvation with keeping the Law. I'm not sure how you came to that conclusion. I do not feel obligated to the law, only to Christ. However if I follow Christ the Law will be in its place for Christ was lawful: in him was no sin.
You list your status as married. Do you care about your wife
and do your best to be a loving husband? If so, why? Because
Paul said so? Or because you love her?
Yahweh gave us the Torah to tell us what he wants before he
sent us his son. Why would we discard any of his instructions
if we want to please him?
If Yahweh never changes, then what he desires and what he
hates don't change. So Proverbs 6:16-19 is just as applicable
today as 1 John 3:4-5.
16 These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
