The Lord Jesus didn't come to establish Torah observance. The bible is quite clear about this.
If Torah observance could perfect us there would be no need for the Sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ.
What happens when we are born again is the law of God is placed in our hearts and minds. Its very important to know that it isn't the description of this law that is placed there. Which is what the 10 commandments are. A description of His Law. Gods actual law, Love, is placed in our hearts and minds.
The more we abide in Christ the more of this law is placed within us. Only by being born again and abiding in Christ can this love be nurtured and grown. Going back to your own Torah observance is going back to your own understanding of working at the law. Which is going back to the way of your heart of Stone so it can follow the law written on Stone in its own strength and understanding.
The way of Love, the way of the Spirit, The Way of Christ, is Faith. Our job, in faith, is to come to Him in Humility and Meekness seeking to be changed from our weak, carnal ways into His Image of Love and Peace.
Something has to be your focus. If it is Torah observance then what you are observing is condemnation and death, whether you realize it or not. It is this condemnation and death that drives us to approach Christ in the beginning. We want to be pleasing to Him who Saved us and we can't by our own works and performance.
The only way to be pleasing before God is to have Faith in Christ. All other ways fall short.
2 Corinthians 3:5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;
John 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
