Sure, but we were talking about the dual nature of Jesus. Sin is by some definitions, rebellion against God. It is also failure to follow God's laws. Without God's Grace, we will all fail. Now, the Catechism speaks to sin being the love of something else being greater than the love for God.
Obedience is not conditional. You don’t say I will obey God if he saves me.
Of course not. God will Judge us based upon our obedience and our imitation of Christ.
Christianity is “thy will be done.”
Correct. But you threw the OT into the mix several posts ago, so I was attempting to get the definitions around the OT and the NT both.
I would say the Orthodox view would be to say "depends what's in your heart." Outward imitation of Christ can be phony, Pharisaical, hypocritical.

I don't recall the exact post, Mark. Obedience to God was the only requirement in both Testaments. You can't serve two masters. Only one master. And severing a master means your will is only to serve. Christ, in his humanity, was a perfect servant.
