I absolutely agree with how this thread is wrapping up
That said, it's important to know that our obedience is judged by how we faithfully rely, trust in and depend on the Gospel to be the power for our salvation -- that is, Jesus.
Even though we may disobey, have sin, struggle, show our imperfections, if we are aware that Jesus is working in us, and we stay faithful to Him, then we are, in fact, staying obedient.
