No one was ever saved by obedience to the Law. That's because upholding the covenant of the Law is impossible. Those like King David, who realized this, gave up on the idea that they could keep the covenant, and instead simply trusted God to do what He promised--even when they couldn't see how it would happen.

When you fall back into navigating life like the world and its systems think you should, you're walking according to the flesh. That never ends well. It results in life on a performance treadmill trying to get closer to God while in truth, you’re getting nowhere.
