GT, in this obedience, is there resting in Christ's saving grace and faith. Does one have to grind out this obedience?
Faith and obedience being worked in the life of the believer, through the Spirit of Christ. Would you agree?
So, GT believes she was in obedience BEFORE she became a Christian? That's an interesting notion.

The rest is that we do not have to get circumcised, we do not have to adhere to a dietary law, we do not have to observe special days, we do not have to do various external washings and sacrifice animals just to go to a temple to be near God's Spirit, for faith that Jesus' blood makes us clean is all we have to do, and we become the temple. That does not mean we still do not have to abstain from evil and do right.
We are told to work out our salvation with trembling and fear. That means work. However, it does get easy, light, and not burdensome. If we resist Satan and submit to God, the devil will flee from us. God gives understanding to those who obey Him.
We have to want to be saved before we are saved. We have to want to be with the Father so bad that we get forceful about it. Jesus comes to help those who do what he says. Jesus saves us all on his own, but he chooses those who believe and obey.
Course Christians obey

Those Christ lived and died for are made righteous by His obedience alone Rom 5:19!

Jesus obeyed so that you have someone to obey.
Jesus obeyed his Father and says that we must obey him.

I really want to understand you, GT. How is the doctrine of repentance acted upon by the Christian if they never disobey?

Where do you get that I said there are people who did not disobey?

Not sure. Please be patient as I try to understand what you believe.
True but the bible, alone, states christains and the chosen ones are saved. You dont see that.

To be saved, one must first admit they are a sinner, and then they must repent of their sins. There are some things that Jesus says one must do or they will NEVER enter. Do you know what those things are?
Jesus says we will never enter unless we humble ourselves. We must humble ourselves by admitting we are sinners, and humble ourselves and repent.
We must forgive others or we will not be forgiven. So we see that humbling ourselves, is all a part of obeying and it is evident that we have so humbled ourselves if we can admit we are sinners, confess and repent of our sins, and forgive others who have sinned against us.
We have to prove our repentance by no longer sinning. Some sins are easy to repent of, and some are harder. Jesus saves us when we call on him to help.

The Bible says that those who obey will be saved.
We must believe and obey to get saved, and to stay saved.
Few things make me angrier than when somebody tells others to obey and then act like they obey God. It's a lie GT, and you are a liar
