What does God's Holy Law Demand?

It demands absolute and total perfection. Anything less than total perfection is sin.

That's right (Mt 5:48). Gamble if you like but all will give an account (Phil 2:12).

Why not just keep the whole law and be perfect.

"Lev 15:31–33 In all these instructions, God was showing the Israelites that they must have a profound reverence for holy things; and nothing was more suited to that purpose than to bar from the tabernacle all who were polluted by any kind of uncleanness, ceremonial as well as natural, physical as well as spiritual. In order to mark out His people as dwelling before Him in holiness, He required of them complete purity and didn’t allow them to come before Him when defiled, even by involuntary or secret impurities. And when one considers that God was training a people to live in His presence, it becomes apparent that these rules for the maintenance of personal purity, pointing to the necessity of purity in the heart, were neither too stringent nor too minute."
