The title and content of your posts seem to suggest two different things (?) - Are you saying that you believe you are saved by/through keeping God's commandments? --- Or are you saying that because you are saved through Jesus Christ, you dwell (live) by the Spirit of God and are obedient?
Perhaps this is simply the manner in which you have expressed yourself. In any case, the latter sounds like it represents truth; ... while the former would be false. The 'saved' are saved by God's grace through faith in Christ Jesus --- not by/through keeping commandments. An evidence that one is 'saved'/'born again' in God's Holy Spirit, is that they seek to obey the commands of Christ (impossible for those who are NOT saved/born again in God's Holy Spirit).

You decide for yourself what I am saying. Your opinions or judgments do not bother me.

Why do you believe that obeying the Lord(make that) of Lords, Jesus Christ,
will not save you from committing sin?
“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them."
when Jesus cried out in a loud voice " IT IS FINISHED" is exactly what he did ... he "fulfill them"
There is a reason why Jesus warned those focused on the law saying "Woe" ..... not "Whoa"
“Woe to you experts in the law, because you have taken away the key to knowledge. You yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who were entering.”
Acts 13:39 Through him everyone who believes is set free from every sin, a justification you were not able to obtain under the law of Moses
Romans 3:28 For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.
