So tell me
What should i do, look to the law for guidance, or look to christ, who loved me and because of that love, empowered me to love others, and by nature of loving others, i will by nature not break commands when i am in an act of loving?
And when i fail to love and put self first (sin) do i need the law to tell me what i should already know? That i put self first, and this sin led me to break other commands, if i focus on just the commands, will i not miss the root of sin whcih caused me to break them in the first place? And thus be in danger of never finding victory? Or thinking i have when i have not?

I am not accusing you, I am hunting for a tiny bit of information I thought you might be able to provide for me so, Different question. Do you happen to know if when Paul was teaching follow one law, follow all laws, if he was referring to the law of Moses or the Law of the kingdom of God?

You had me thinking I was wrong about you briefly.

That is not part of the law
But it is god telling us where to focus our minds, in bearing each others burdens, not the letter of the law.
If the letter of the law was sufficient, god would not need to tell us things like love, bear each o5ers burdens, seek after things of the spirit
He would just tell us, obey he law look to it, focus on it, and you will be ok.
He does not do that, because the law can not do that, that was not the laws purpose, you said that yesterday, (it is a schoolmaster to lead us to christ) why don't you believe what you say
