Good morning, little brother (I think I’m older than you., lol.). You might consider what it is that’s kept in the Ark of the Covenant, which resides in heaven.
View attachment 263773
Inside are kept the two tablets that God Himself wrote—not once, but twice.
Then the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of His covenant was seen in His temple. And there were lightnings, noises, thunderings, an earthquake, and great hail.
- Revelation 11:19

- Revelation 11:19
Where there is no law, there is no sin Rom 4:15, so God's law started in heaven because Lucifer sinned 1 John 3:8 hence Rev 11:19
Sin is breaking any of the Ten Commandments that God alone wrote with His own finger, placed under His mercy seat that is in heaven where Judgement and Mercy come together. Removing one jot or tittle means one would not be covered Pro 28:13 so seems like a bad idea.
1 John 3:4 Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness.
James 2:10 For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all. 11 For He who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not murder.” Now if you do not commit adultery, but you do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law. 12 So speak and so do as those who will be judged by the law of liberty. You can find all of the law from He (God) who said in Exodus 20
Not sure how people come to the conclusion we can break God's law. It's what separated man from God Isa 59:2 and God does not change so doing the same thing that God has condemned each and every time in scripture is not the way. Jesus showed us the WAY led by example John 15:10 1 Peter 2:21-22 Heb 4:15 Scriptures shows how long-suffering God is, but He destroyed literal Isarael for their continuous rebelliousness to His law. We are not more special. God loves everyone, but that doesn't mean He will not execute His righteous Judgement, He tells us He will. 2 Cor 5:10 Ecc 12:13-14 Mat 7:21-23 Rev 22:14-15
I agree the law cannot save us, all it does shows is our sin Rom 3:20 and bring us to Christ Gal 3:24 Psa 19:7 and so we don't depend on righteous way of living but instead on God's Psa 119:172 which is everlasting Psa 119:142. Keeping God's law is a reflection of faith in Jesus to not only hear what He says, but do them through love and faith in Jesus and the faith of Jesus , to follow the example He left for us 1 John 2:6 who kept God's law John 15:10
Rev 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.
Which reconciles us back to Him
Rev 22:14 Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city.
