Yes, the law shows us our sins and we keep the law because we love God, more than the other spirit.
1 John 5: 3 For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome.
1 John 3:8 He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.
Whoever we obey is who we serve Rom 6:16 so we obey Him because we love and serve God. When we disobey by default we are serving someone else.

No, that is not the gospel.
Paul told us what the gospel was in 1 Corinthians 15.
Paul told the Corinthians that it was only Christ crucified.
1 Corinthians 2:2
For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.
That is the gospel Paul delivered in 1 Corinthians 15.
Your using the gospels narration to define 'the gospel' and that is where you go wrong.

Well I am going to go by what scripture says is Truth because ours really means nothing.
Psalms 119:151 You are near, O Lord,
And all Your commandments are truth.
1 John 2:4 He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
I think its time to get real and start allowing God's Word to define itself.
Could our Perfect Savior write and untruthful law? Once we start understanding God's character, we will understand His law, because His character is a reflection of His law. Truth, righteous, perfect, just. eternal, just like God is.

You are in constant conflict with Paul.
Romans 3:19-20
Now we know that whatever the Law says, it speaks to those who are under the Law, so that every mouth may
be closed and all the world may become accountable to God; because by the works of the Law none of mankind
will be justified in His sight; for through the Law comes knowledge of sin.
No one is righteous, no one ever kept the law and even Moses got the boot.
No one can obey the sabbath, the letter of the law, because your flesh (thoughts) will always oppose
the written law. We all have the inner conflict between the law of the flesh, and the law of Christ in
our mind.
The sabbath rest (written law) can never be a joy for you to obey.
The sabbath is the yoke of slavery.

So God loves us so much that He gave us His law to show us our sin so we can make better decisions for our life instead of covering our sins Pro 28:13, but if we don't keep them instead of keeping them and sin, then its love. Sin is of the devil, not sinning is of Christ. And you came to the conclusion disobeying God is love and obeying the devil is how to love God. Sorry we are worlds apart in our understanding.
I am going to stick with what He said:
Exo 20:6 but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.

This was a quote from God, not me.
Under the law means under the condemnation of the law. This has been explained a few times, so I don't see the point in going over it again. Its not like we can decide to bypass God's law and do what we want and think we are in Christ. This is not what Paul is teaching, but he is hard to understand and I would consider reconciling Paul's teachings to Christ, not the other way. The warning about Paul's writings is severe. It would be sad on Judgment day when Jesus says depart from Me those who practice lawlessness....so obviously there are some misunderstanding in what Paul is saying. He is not leading people to their destruction, the exact warning about his writings.

It is not whether there exists a moral law in a person's mind or a letter of the law.
Whereby someone might believe that you only worship Jesus only on one day a week.
It is about whether someone is under the law and must obey the letter of the law.
Which is what your saying, you must obey the letter of the law!
Make no mistake regarding the letter of the law.
Jesus is everything all the time and we worship Jesus all the time.
Christians do not gather only on one day per week and they never have.
Christians have never been under the letter of the law or any part of the law.

Do you know why your wrong?
Jesus gave a new commandment to love others as He has loved us.
So the commandments to love others as you love yourself is obsolete.
Not as you love yourself but with unconditional love as He loved us.
So your argument collapses on the basis of the new commandment that Jesus gave.
May I ask whether you are obeying Jesus or the law when it comes to love?
