Obedience to the law isn't called fruit anywhere in Scripture. We have a new and different covenant you refuse to participate in. Why don't you just disregard the complete NT?
SIN is the opposite of OBEDIENCE to God's LAW for sin is BREAKING any one of God's LAWS (10 commandments) *JAMES 2:10-11; 1 JOHN 3:4; ROMANS 3:20; ROMANS 7:7. JESUS came to save us from SIN (breaking God's LAW) not to CONTINUE in SIN (breaking God's LAW) *JOHN 8:31-36; ROMANS 13:8-10.
JESUS came to magnify the LAW from the INSIDE OUT quoting MATTHEW 5:17-32 (thoughts and feelings) in fulfillment of *ISAIAH 42:21. This is to show that unless our RIGHTOUESNESS EXCEEDS the RIGHTOUESNESS of the Scribes and Pharisees we can in no way enter into the KINGDOM of HEAVEN. Jesus is saying the problem runs deeper then outward observance to the 10 Commandments. EVIL begins in the HEART. BREAKING GOD's 10 COMMANDMENTS from the heart defile a man *MATTHEW 15:18-19. JESUS is saying we can be outwardly perfect and blameless like the Scribes and Pharisee but inwardly like dead mans bones *MATTHEW 23:27-28. JESUS magnified the LAW to the INSIDE OUT. To show us that we are all sinners in need of a Saviour and that sin originates in the HEART (thoughts and feelings). That is why we have the NEW COVENANT promise and need to be BORN AGAIN by Faith in God's WORD for salvation to be free from SIN (breaking any one of God's 10 commandments) *HEBREWS 8:10-12; 1 JOHN 3:3-10
If we are not BORN AGAIN into the NEW COVENANT promise and continue in it we will not enter the kingdom of Heaven *1 JOHN 2:3-4; 1 JOHN 2:3-4. ALL those who KNOWINGLY break any one of God's 10 commandments stand guilty before God of sin *JAMES 2:10-11. All those who KNOWINGLY CONTINUE in UNREPENTANT SIN will not enter into God's KINGDOM *HEBREWS 10:26-27 because they reject the gift of God's dear son *ROMANS 6:23. God's 4th Commandment is one of the 10 Commandments that give us the KNOWLEDGE of what sin is. There is no such thing as the 9 commandments in God's WORD. The same as there is no scripure that says God's 4th commandment is Abolished and we are now commanded to keep Sunday as a Holy day.
OBEDIENCE is the fruit of FAITH that works by LOVE and is the NEW COVENANT promise in all those who BELIEVE and FOLLOW God's WORD *HEBREWS 8:10-12

ROMANS 3:31 [31], Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yes, we establish the law.
ROMANS 13:8-10
[8], Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loves another has fulfilled the law.
[9], For this, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not kill, You shall not steal, You shall not bear false witness, You shall not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
[10], Love works no ill to his neighbor: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
1 JOHN 3:6-9
[6], Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither knoweth him.
[7], My little children, let no man lead you astray: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous:
[8], he that doeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. To this end was the Son of God manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
[9], Whosoever is begotten of God doeth no sin, because his seed abideth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is begotten of God.
[10], In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
1 JOHN 2:3-4
[3], And hereby we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
[4], He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
REVELATION 14:12
[12], Here is the patience of the saints, they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
REVELATION 22:14
[14], Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
Hope this helps.
