Right because being under the law produces sinful lust... And we admit the law is good but we are not under it.
I personally subject myself to it.
Does not mean Im perfect, but tha is the standard I know Yah has set, so I do love it and want Him to guide me to be what the Law explains. You know how Messiah was "the ultimate goal" of the Instructions. Amazing!
and I would add that not being subject to Yahweh's Law, the Creator of the universe, is a dangerous thing IMO, here is why:
Mattithyah 7:23, "But then I will declare to them; I never knew you. Get away from Me, you who
practice iniquity."

Compound that with the fact that Yahshua (Jesus) said this:
Mattithyah 22:36-40, "Teacher, what is the greatest commandment in the Law? Yahshua said to him: You must love Yahweh your Father with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments hang
all the Law and the Prophets."
Yahchanan (John) 14:15, "If you
love Me, keep My commandments."
Mattithyah 5:18, "For truly I say to you;
Unless heaven and earth passes away, one yodh--the smallest of the letters--will in no way pass from the Law, until all things are perfected."
Luke 16:17, "But it is
easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one yodh of the Law to fail."
John 12:48, "He who rejects Me,
and does not follow My words has One Who judges him. The word that I have spoken, the same will be used to judge him in the last day."
John 5:24, "Most certainly I tell you, he who hears my word, and believes him who sent me, has eternal life, and doesn't come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life."
I would not be so eager to reject the Law of the Creator of the Universe. (especially when Paul, the man;s writing who you are using to say the Law is gone, himself said he kept it)
I don't think the issue is being perfect in obedience, I think it is about being subject to the Creator, saying, yes, Father you know what is best, guide me. Not making our own list of do's and dont's molded by our own hearts.
Added reason why I believe we should subject ourselves to the Creators Law, but do not have o be PERFECT is
this:
Romans 3:25, "Whom Yahweh set forth as a sacrifice of atonement by His own blood, through the faith, to declare His righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of Yahweh."
1 John 1:8-10, "
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His Law is not in us."
Romans 5:13, "For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law."
Romans 4:15, "Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression."
1Jn 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
The
curse is gone
"do not kill" is still there.
