Yeshua did not change the importance of keeping all of the Commandments. The two Commandments of Yeshua, loving God/Yahweh and loving your neighbor, are a summation of the Law and Torah. In fact, Yeshua says, “On these two Commandments hang/ depend all the Law and the Prophets/Torah” (Matthew 22:40).
"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them, but to fulfill them. For I tell you truly, until heaven and earth pass away, not a single jot, not a stroke of a pen, will disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. So then, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do likewise will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 5:18).
“Do we then make void the law through faith? God/Yahweh forbid: yea, we establish the Law" (Romans 3:31) .
"He who possesses My Commands and keeps them, is he who love Me" (John 14:21).
"Do we then make void the law through faith? God/Yahweh forbid: yea, we establish the Law" (Romans 3:31).
"His commandments are not grievous/burdensome" (1 John 5:3).
“By this we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments. The one who says, “I have come to know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him; but whoever keeps His word, in him the love of God/Yahweh has truly been perfected.” (I John 2:3-5) “Everyone who practices sin practices lawlessness as well. Indeed, sin is lawlessness” (1 John 3:4).
“If you love Me, you will keep My Commandments (John 14:15):
“But prove yourselves doers of the Word/Torah, and not merely hearers who delude themselves” (James 1:22).

First, God/Yahweh's people are righteous when they are in a right relation with Him. They become “righteous” by His gift of salvation through Jesus/Yeshua (Romans 10:6; Philippians 3:9).
In addition, the Scriptural definition of living righteously is found in Deuteronomy 6:25, "And it shall be our righteousness, fi we observe to do all these Commandments before the LORD our God/Elohim as He has commanded us."
Hosea, the prophet of divine love, also ties righteousness with mercy, loving kindness, and justice (Hosea 2:19; 10:12 ). Having within the covenantal relation with Elohim is the gift of salvation. The covenant people of God/Elohim are then called to live righteously. His people are to behave as the people of the holy LORD. They are to live in conformity to His will, expressed in the Torah (Psalm 1:4-6 ; 11:7 ; 72:1; Isaiah 1:16-17 ).
Many claim the forgiveness of God/Yahweh, while their lives look no different from those who do not know the Messiah.
We pursue His will when we keep His Commandments:
"For it is not those who hear the Law who are righteous in God/Yahweh’s sight, but it is those who obey the Law who will be declared righteous" (Romans 2:13).
“Flee from youthful passions, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the LORD from a pure heart” (2 Timothy 2:22).
"But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. You believe that there is one God/Elohim. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble! But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?" (James 2:14-26)
"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness for they will be filled" (Matthew 5:6).
