Jeremiah 31:31 - “Look! There are days coming,” is the utterance of Jehovah, “and
I will conclude with the house of Israel and with the
house of Judah a new covenant;
Hebrews 8:13 - In his saying “
a new [covenant]” he has
made the former one obsolete. Now that which is made obsolete and growing old is
near to vanishing away.
Colossians 2:13-17 - Furthermore, though YOU were dead in YOUR trespasses and in the uncircumcised state of YOUR flesh, [God] made YOU alive together with him. He kindly forgave us all our trespasses 14 and
blotted out the handwritten document against us, which consisted of decrees and which was in opposition to us; and
He has taken it out of the way by nailing it to the torture stake. 15 Stripping the governments and the authorities bare, he exhibited them in open public as conquered, leading them in a triumphal procession by means of it.
16 Therefore let no man judge YOU in eating and drinking or in respect of a festival or of an observance of the new moon or of a sabbath; 17 for
those things are a shadow of the things to come, but the reality
belongs to the Christ.
Matt 5:17,18 - “Do not think I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I came, not to destroy,
but to fulfill; 18 for truly I say to YOU that sooner would heaven and earth pass away than for one smallest letter or one particle of a letter to pass away from the Law by any means and
not all things take place.
Romans 10:4 -
For Christ is the end of the Law, so that everyone exercising faith may have righteousness
In the light of this, what is implied by arguing that the Mosaic Law is still in force? In effect, this constitutes a repudiation of faith in Jesus Christ. Why is that so? Because such a view rejects the fact that Jesus fulfilled the Law, thus paving the way for God to terminate it. To persons who professed to be Christians but who were swayed by arguments in favor of keeping the Law, or some portion of it, the apostle Paul forcefully wrote: “You are parted from Christ, whoever you are that
try to be declared righteous by means of law; you have fallen away from his undeserved kindness.”—Gal. 5:4
