It Is Impossible To Keep The Commandments- Romans 3:23

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23)

Paul says in Romans that everybody has sinned, and it's impossible to keep the commandments.  Why bother trying?

We Are Justified by Faith Not Law- Romans 3:20

Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.  Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.  (Romans 3:20, 28)

For those in Christ, the deeds of the Law have no value!

Only unbelievers are under the Law.  Christians are under grace.

I Am Dead to the Law- Romans 7:4

Therefore, my brethren, you also have become dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you may be married to another—to Him who was raised from the dead, that we should bear fruit to God. (Romans 7:4)

Christians are dead to the Law!  The Law no longer applies to those in Christ.

Jesus Delivered Us From Bondage to the Law- Romans 7:6

For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death. But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter. (Romans 7:5-6)

The Bible says we are delivered from bondage of the law and that we should serve Christ in the newness of the Spirit and not the oldness of the letter.

Christ Is the End of the Law- Romans 10:4

Paul says to the believers in Rome:

For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.  (Romans 10:4)

If you are a believer then Christ ended the Law. If you are still attempting to keep the Law then you aren't a believer.

Every Person Must Be Convinced in His Own Mind- Romans 14:5

Paul teaches us:

One person regards one day above another, another regards every day alike. Each person must be fully convinced in his own mind.  (Romans 14:5)

The Sabbath is whatever day we want to observe and are convinced in our minds to observe.  God has ended the law requiring a specific day for the Sabbath.
