a major part of the law was about sacrifice with shedding of blood to cover sin. so even the law teaches us we are not obedient and made temporal provision acknowledging our disobedience till the Son came to offer Himself one time for all.
but if anyone thinks they have become good enough and can adhere to all the laws requirements even after they believed, then go for it. follow the way of Cain but remember, sin crouches at the door ready to pounce.
EL speaking to Cain
Genesis 4:7 If you do what is right, shall thou not be accepted? and if you do what is wrong, sin crouches at the door. And it desires to have you, but you must rule over it.
Abel brought a sacrifice of sheep portions admitting to his sin and need for salvation by shed blood. Cain brought some of the fruits of his field and labor(works). Cain's jealousy of Abel's offering being accepted while his was not, led him to kill Abel. That's how sin works.
There is lots of instructions in the NT about how to try to live as believers. Hardly anyone ever even masters that. Faith working by love is the answer and there is very little of that in the world as the daily headlines show. But hey, obey the law if you think you can.
