Sure. If someone COULD keep all the commandments they could be saved.

But they can’t. Nobody can because Jesus dealt with the intent of the Law and heart and there is NONE righteous before God.

So Jesus establishes a standard which no one can attain.

Then what?

Perhaps you cannot keep the commandments.

His elect can. His elect do not disregard his words; they fully believe them, and follow them. They follow them easily because he wrote them on their hearts.
