Read the New Testament from the perspective that all Christians were baptized which is saving grace and removes original sin. Read it from the perspective that all apostolic Christians believed that they were baptized into the Kingdom of David which God said would last forever. Read it from the perspective that persecution had a large effect on what was written down and how it was written down. Read it from the perspective that the apostolic church was celebrating all seven sacraments and had Bishops Priests and Deacons to teach and perpetuate the faith through the sacraments. Read it from the perspective that even the early church was having trouble with Pauls letters and that you should be very careful when you read them. You are saved by grace ( Baptism into Gods church ) You are no longer under the law ( mosaic law because the law was a pedagog of Christ a teacher, types to show how the sacraments effect the soul) If Christ puts down tradition and Paul supports tradition then they have to be talking about two different types of tradition. If Paul says works wont save you and James says faith without works is dead and Christ says I will come and judge everyone according to their works, then they have to be talking about two different types of works.
