Should you try?
SD
Did you read the Scriptures I posted?
No, I should not try to keep the Ten Commandments in order to get to Heaven. I could think of no better way to scoff at what Christ has done for me on Calvary than to tell Him,"I know you paid the whole thing Lord, but I want to try it on my own anyway."
We should strive to keep the Moral Law because of our gratitude to Him and to keep from having bad consequences while we are still on earth. To take an example from a previous post of yours: I have Christ as my Saviour, He has paid the Eternal penalty for all of my sins past, present, and future. If I were now to go out and rob a bank and die in the attempt I will still go to Heaven, but I have also reaped what I have sown here on earth because I am now dead due to a gunshot wound inflicted while I was trying to rob said bank.
God is under no obligation to protect me from the consequences of my actions here on earth.
