(Matthew 5:17)

17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.

Jesus followed and kept all the laws and was not given a curse because of this (Galatians 3:10) until his death by hanging on a tree (Galatians 3:13).

From my understanding, Jesus fulfills all of the laws by following them and not receiving a curse, but instead takes the curse (or punishment for sin) from mankind upon himself as a sacrifice, thereby making the law non-binding for those that are Christian.

However since God doesn't change. (Malachi 3:6) and since Jesus did not come to abolish the law (Matthew 5:17) ,

Does Leviticus 20:13 , Leviticus 19:27 , Leviticus 19:28 , and the section of Leviticus 11 pertaining to Kosher law still stand as God's authoritative command and if not followed it is thereby considered Sin?

Even if the punishment for sin was blotted out with the blood of Jesus for mankind, to love God is to keep his commands (1 John 5:3) And I assume most Christians try to follow God's laws, and as a Believer I am unsure if these commands in Leviticus are to be followed as the commands against homosexuality and witchcraft?
