I think we should do all we can to live right before God but we need to follow the teachings of Jesus when He tells us not to "weigh men down with heavy burdens". The law was given for our benefit. This is why David says that he delights in the law a daily meditates upon it.
Psalm 1 "1Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, or set foot on the path of sinners, or sit in the seat of mockers. 2
But his delight is in the Law of the LORD, and on His law he meditates day and night. 3He is like a tree planted by streams of water, yielding its fruit in season, whose leaf does not wither, and who prospers in all he does"
Luke 11:46
"Woe to you as well, experts in the law!" He replied. "You weigh men down with heavy burdens, but you yourselves will not lift a finger to lighten their load.
