Jesus killed the law causing enmity to cease

"Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression." Romans 4:15

I have heard many on CC teach that this scripture says the law is opposed to love because wrath is love's opposition.
Then in order to cause transgressions to stop, the law was abolished and crucified with Christ.
Without the law we are righteous in the sight of God through faith in Christ, because God's grace is also opposed to the law.
God's grace, and God's law are arch enemies one with another.

"Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator." Galatians 3:19

This verse is referring to the way things were in Old Testament times before Christ was crucified. Now Jesus is the mediator of a better and New Covenant that gives believers peace with God because both the law and transgressions have been done away with by Christ Himself.

"Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law." 1 John 3:4

Then being justified by faith, we are not held guilty for our transgressions which means the law has been crucified with Christ. If we are foolish enough to observe the law, we heap transgressions upon ourselves and we are automatically under its condemnation the same way we were before we were born again. Who would ever want to do that and lose their salvation that the law will surely destroy and re-establish the enmity?

"Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:" Ephesians 2:15-16

This verse proves all of the above, and we are comfortable with these things because peace with God is comfortable. Don't you agree? The way this verse reads is that the ordinances are the commandments and laws, and not the Old Testament temple ordinances that contain laws and commandments.

So we see that Jesus abolished the law in His flesh when He said "It is finished" like "it is finally gone now" i.e. "fulfilled".

Now there is a new law because this division and enmity that the old law created has been crucified once and for all. At least this is what some believe and teach. Observing the law is the biggest threat to a person's salvation. This is what I have been taught in CC. What do you believe?

I flunked the course cause I don't believe it this way. Jesus came to change us, not His words.

There is differences between JESUS 'killed' the 'Law', and JESUS 'fulfilled' the 'Law of Moses'. Have you short 'read' that, 'not even a 'dot' or 'comma' shall be removed from the 'Law'?

GOD bless you all in the name of LORD JESUS CHRIST.

God's law is a law of love. Jesus came to pay the wages of sin which is death. Jesus took our place and died for us. The law are the house rules of God's government. The rules still apply...they were always there to show our love to God and love to our fellow men.

Jesus fulfilled the law and paid the price of death on the cross our ransom it is by His grace we are saved through faith...

Yes, the 'rules still apply' to those who are not 'saved' and not in faith under the 'path' of Grace and Truth , 'the way. 'the truth' and 'the life'' of the New Covenant/Testament., the only way to the FATHER, is by HIS 'left behind' word/teaching.

Thank you and GOD bless you all in the name of LORD JESUS CHRIST.
