Preach the gospel.
Practice theonomy.
If you preach the Gospel, you will be accused of being antinomian and licentious.
If you practice Theonomy, you will be accused of being ungracious and legalistic.
Some, try to reconcile the two by charging for grace while others try to cheapen the law, but abbreviating the law doesn't make grace abound and making grace more expensive doesn't pay off the law.
You cannot honor both by compromising either. You can only hold both together by covenant. The two must be married and become one flesh.
Psalm 85:10–11
Mercy and truth have met together;
Righteousness and peace have kissed.
Truth shall spring out of the earth,
And righteousness shall look down from heaven.
When law and gospel say, "I do," before God and man, kiss, and walk back up the aisle, the result is obedience springing up in mankind and grace raining down from God.
Preach the Gospel.
Practice Theonomy.
Be an Evangelegal.
Romans 3:31
Do we then overthrow the law by this faith? By no means! On the contrary, we uphold the law.
