First let's read how the "King" responded to this in the OT:
Ezek.18
[24] But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die.
[25] Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear now, O house of Israel; Is not my way equal? are not your ways unequal?
[26] When a righteous man turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and dieth in them; for his iniquity that he hath done shall he die.
So if the righteous person, or one that is keeping the commandments of God, turns away and starts doing that which is wrong....AND continues....he will die in his sins.
Now let's read how the "King" responded in the NT:
Heb.6
[4] For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
[5] And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,
[6] If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
God's word tells us above if one that was made partakers of the Holy Ghost falls away.....AND continues....it is IMPOSSIBLE to renew them again unto repentance. For they are now trying to crucify for themselves Christ all over again, making what He did for them by dying on the cross appear shameful.
Now let's read what sins Christ died for;
Rom.3
[25] Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
Christ died for those sins that were committed by us in the past...BEFORE we became aware of His word. Afterward.....we will be held accountable for ALL future sins.
So.........we do not have to wonder how the King will respond. The King has already told us!

Are we to assume that you claim you have been keeping the law perfectly since the day you became a Christian?
You misunderstand scripture.
You preach righteousness by works of the law. This is self-righteousness.
But God is speaking of those who submit to His righteousness. It's righteousness by faith (not works).
In Christ we are righteous, holy (Rom 11:16), sanctified (Heb 10:10), perfected (Heb 10:14) and cannot sin (1John 3:9).
