Here are some verse I found that might help your question:
They profess to know God, but in works they deny Him, being abominable, disobedient, and disqualified for every good work. Titus 1:16
For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome.1 John 5:3
Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him.1 John 2:3-5
“For as many as have sinned without law will also perish without law, and as many as have sinned in the law will be judged by the law. For not the hearers of the law are just in the sight of God, but the doers of the law will be justified;” (Romans 2:12-13)

If you study the Sermon on the Mount, it's clear Jesus incorporated all of the Ten Commandments into that. He also summed up the entire Mosaic Law with,'"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind" This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets." (Mat 22:36-40)
Jesus did not get rid of God's Laws - he fulfilled them perfectly. The Law was the shadow leading to the reality - Christ. In his Sermon on the Mount Jesus showed how the reality of the Law lies in exposing our hearts. That is why he said we must go further than the Law (an eye for an eye, love your neighbour etc). "You shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect" (Mat 5:38-48). This perfection cannot come by legalism but by God creating a new heart and a right spirit within us. Once he does that, we no longer see his commands as burdensome but delight to please him. We know the Law cannot save us and do not keep the 10 Commandments in order to be saved - but BECAUSE we are saved, we can enter into them in a new and meaningful way - and all for God's glory.

yes, you still have to follow the ten commandments because that's what is keeping the little peace we have in the world intact.
Think about it , do you know how many christians there are in this world ? Now think about what would happen if they all began breaking the ten commandments.
And in Titus they were talking about the hypocrites, people who do all the wrong things and have the nerve to try and judge others for doing those same things.

No one HAS to do anything. The 10 Commandments are there for our protection, really. If you commit adultery, you might get a STD. If you steal or murder, you'll go to prison. If you commit libel or slander, you can go to jail.
Everyone needs a day of rest. You can get sick if you are overworked. As for the ones concerning loving God and putting Him first, if you truly accept Him, you will try to do that.
Every Christian is human and will disobey one or more of these commandments. If you're truly remorseful and ask forgiveness, everything is cool.
We all do the best that we can.

Yes. All their thoughts, feelings, words and actions will be in line with the 10 Commandments. It will be inherent to them because the commandments will be in their hearts and minds. They will not have the tendency to sin. They are free from the slavery of sin.

You have the complete contrast between Calvinism and Arminianism.
Calvinism. only by grace. once saved always saved.
Arminianism. you must choose and show by works.
