I haven't tried this here before, some may find my style hard hitting. I will turn this into 2 parts:

Law vs Grace (1 of 2)

Matthew 22:34–40 The Great Commandment
34 But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together. 35 And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him. 36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” 37 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”

Let's break this statement down properly so that we can glean what is intended to be gleaned.

Question: What is the great (or greatest in context)?
Answer: You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment.

Is there anything else to consider here?
Yes...
39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”

And you shall love your neighbor as yourself...

So, we have to love God with everything that we are...and to love our neighbor as we love ourselves...we don't want to be treated badly or without mercy, so ya we should be treating those on the journey of life with a similar respect as we wish to feel is being offered to us...

What are the Laws?

The 10 Commandments
You shall have no other God's before me.
-if we love God with everything that is within us, how can there be any other God's before Him and if there is, they need to be removed, given a backseat at the very least...

Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven images. ...
Graven images...nope, I wouldn't have such things because demons use articles

Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain. ...
-Oh my goodness, I hope not...I wouldn't want to use His name when it wasn't for some serious business at hand...

Remember the Sabbath day and keep it Holy. ...
- Some consider one day holy over another while others consider every day alike. To judge one is to step above ones pay grade...I consider every day is Holy...

Honor your father and mother. ...
- I can do no other thing, as a father now I know what kinds of trouble fathers can get their sorry butts into...I wish I had this knowledge while I was younger...

Thou shalt not kill. ...
- Technically the original says willful killing or murder...because there is a time to kill, unfortunately...especially if we are protecting the weak and there is no other option.

Thou shalt not commit adultery. ...
- Gosh not even with my eyes...

Thou shalt not steal.
- I hope I do things as honest as possible...but I'm meat so...gotta go over everything because I'm sure He will...
