Just so I’m clear. I do believe that we should be obedient. Children obey your parents. So if God is my Father, I need to be obedient to Him. And when I’m not, He disciplines. But the key is the relationship. He is my Father. He loves me. He does not hold my sin against me.
But, does obedience keep me His Son? No. Can I outsin His grace? No (if scripture is to be believed). Can I run away? No, because the Shepherd comes for me.
So we obey out of love, not fear. Rest in His love.
