1 John 3:9. Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.Everyone who is doing sin is doing lawlessness also, and sin is lawlessness.
We need to know the Torah (law) before we can judge whether or not we are keeping the Torah.
John 3:7. Do not be amazed that I said to you, 'You must all be born from above.'
We need to know the Law to be born from above? Does that follow?
He was instructing an expert on the Law, and Nicodemus had no idea what Yeshua was saying.
John 3:10. Jesus answered and said to him, “Are you the teacher of Israel, and do not know these things?
Romans 2:27. And will not the physically uncircumcised, if he fulfills the law, judge you who, even with your written code and circumcision, are a transgressor of the law?
Romans 14:
10 Now why are you judging your brother? Or why are you also scorning your brother?
For all of us shall be presented at the dais of God,
11 for it is written: Living am I, the Lord is saying, For to Me shall bow every knee,
And every tongue shall be acclaiming God!"
12 Consequently, then, each of us shall be giving account concerning himself to God."
13 By no means, then, should we still be judging one another, but rather decide this,
not to place a stumbling block for a brother, or a snare."
Luke 24:49. Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.
Mark 10:15. Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it.
Acts 2:38. Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
2 Timothy 3: All scripture is inspired by God, and is beneficial for teaching, for exposure, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,
17 that the man of God may be equipped, fitted out for every good act."
instruction in righteousness=towrah, from yarah-to teach.
Study to show yourself approved.
The scriptures tell us what the Father expects. The Holy Spirit empowers to succeed.
That is "under Grace".
How are you and the Beatitudes? This is not Law. Not commandments.
This is evidence that the Holy Spirit is at work in you,
meeting the righteous requirements of God's Word.
If you say "you must know Torah", you must also say "you must be born from above".
To know the Lord, who is the Spirit of Truth, of Life. That is the FULL Gospel.
No way do you need to know 613 laws to judge righteous judgment.
You need a conscience without offense to the Father, and a "hearing heart" toward the Holy Spirit.
Love your neighbor and the Holy Spirit trumps 613 laws every time. At least in my Bible.
