The New Testament Law consists of all New Testament commandments from almighty God. Please become a doer of the law.

Simply saying you are one who keeps the commandments doesn't actually mean you do. In fact, your priority of the law suggests otherwise. The law is summed up in loving God and loving others
If you were being led by the Spirit, your emphasis would be on helping others.

SpambleBee. Are the Beatitude the New Testament Law?

According to wikipedia.org:
."While opinions may vary as to exactly how many distinct statements into which the Beatitudes should be divided (ranging from eight to ten), most scholars consider them to be only eight 1. Here are the eight Beatitudes from the Gospel of Matthew:
  1. Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
  2. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
  3. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the Earth.
  4. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied.
  5. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
  6. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
  7. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the Sons of God.
  8. Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven."
I find it interesting that some scholars believe there 10 Beautitudes :unsure: hmmm, a new set of tablets, except they written on our hearts instead of stone...

They could, but they won't. That would actually be focusing on and loving others. They would actually be keeping the law.

Romans 2:11-15
11 For there is no respect of persons with God. 12 For whosoever have sinned without the law, shall perish without the law; and whosoever have sinned in the law, shall be judged by the law. 13 For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. 14 For when the Gentiles, who have not the law, do by nature those things that are of the law; these having not the law are a law to themselves: 15 Who shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness to them, and their thoughts between themselves accusing, or also defending one another,

I already got you with my stinger; I posted Bible scripture you can't refute.

Romans 2:11-15
11 For there is no respect of persons with God. 12 For whosoever have sinned without the law, shall perish without the law; and whosoever have sinned in the law, shall be judged by the law. 13 For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. 14 For when the Gentiles, who have not the law, do by nature those things that are of the law; these having not the law are a law to themselves: 15 Who shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness to them, and their thoughts between themselves accusing, or also defending one another,

I appreciate your concern for me. But I realize I cannot keep the law of God at the standard He has set. So I satisfy myself that Jesus living in me can and walk in the Spirit.
