Who says I do---I just understand that Christ creates a way for me to keep the commandments and that by so doing, I am obeying Him. Does He expect perfection? Yes,--but He also expects it line upon line and precept on precept. So, as long as I am following the spirit, I am obeying.
Okay, I will tell you of my personal experience. I have a dear friend who is born-again Christian. We both have the same number of children. We both raised them to love God and took them to church. We both taught them to be chaste. The children are now grown. All are good kids. But, her children lived the life they thought was good which included living with their boyfriend, drinking, swearing, etc. Mine lived the live they thought was good and didn't.
