Long before any Mosaic covenant Adam sinned against His creators God breathed rule. Point: No Mosaic law doesn't mean, No, laws at all.
The Mosaic covenant was between God & the Nation of Israel only (Ex 19:3 & ALL the Israelis Agreed to it Ex 19:8)
Under the Mosaic Covenant obedience to it's law ordinances brought blessings, disobedience curses (Deut 28). It's Levitical sacrificial sin management system only covered & couldn't take away sin (Heb 10:1-4) & was in fact, a constant reminder of sin.
No person alive today has any relationship or obligation to the Mosaic law covenant. Why? It was retired Matt 27:51 (see below) whereby rendered OBSOLETE - Heb 7:21, 22, 8:13, 9:15.
Matt 27:51 And [at once] the veil [of the Holy of Holies] of the temple was [l]torn in two from top to bottom; the earth shook and the rocks were split apart.
(MY NOTE: Next, the New Covenant/Melchizedek sin administration Priesthood begins in resurrection power. 3 days later it's 1st new covenant implementation is seen in (Acts 2:4)
Acts 2:4 And they were all filled [that is, diffused throughout their being] with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues (different languages), as the Spirit was giving them the ability to speak out [clearly and appropriately].
New Covenant Implementation > Holy Spirit of God indwells believers = New Covenant administrator/Jesus (Matt 3:11, Mk 1:8, Lk 3:16, Acts 1:5).
God's Holy presents no longer dwells (nor ever again will) in a Tabernacle or Temple (Mosaic covenant) inner sanctuary/Holy of Holies.
Every believer is now a Temple where a Holy God's Spirit forever indwells. (1 Cor 6:19)
Hebrews 9:
12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
(MY NOTE: Faith in Christ's blood brings eternal redemption for us.!)
15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
(MY NOTE: Jesus is mediator of new testament/covenant. Under this New Melchizedek sin administration. Not only are sins removed, Our great High Priest can impute His righteousnss onto the believer, providing eternal life)
16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.
(MY NOTE: Christ had to die & rise to redeem anyone before they could receive the promise of eternal salvation)
The night before a sinless Jesus paid sins required wage/death
Matt 26:28 (AMP) For this is My blood of the new covenant, which ratifies the agreement and is being poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
Matt 26:28 (KJV) For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins
The dividing point between 2 covenants is: Christs death & resurrection.
Eph 2:15 by abolishing in His [own crucified] flesh the hostility caused by the Law with its commandments contained in ordinances [which He satisfied]; so that in Himself He might make the two into one new man, thereby establishing peace.
(MY NOTE: It's not every heavenly law that Christ's sin atoning death abolished. ALL Mosaic sin debt law ordinances.)
Col 2:
13 When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you[d] alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins,
(MY NOTE: At conversion/salvation Christ placed His Holy Spirit in you, simultaneously, He forgave all your sins Past-Present-Future & imputed His Righteousness onto you. Whereby you are now the righteousness of God in Christ (2 Cor 5:21)
14 having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross.
(MY NOTE: By canceling ALL your sins any legal law ordinance in Mosaic laws power to collect, is now mute. No sin = No debt owed. Jesus paid your debt owed at Calvary)
Gal 3:
16 Now the promises [in the covenants] were decreed to Abraham and to his seed. God does not say, “And to seeds (descendants, heirs),” as if [referring] to many [persons], but as to one, “And to your Seed,” who is [none other than] Christ.
(MY NOTE: God made covenant promises to Abraham. All of which pointed to Christ our Savior)
17 This is what I mean: the Law, which came into existence four hundred and thirty years later [after the covenant concerning the coming Messiah], does not and cannot invalidate the covenant previously established by God, so as to abolish the promise
(MY NOTE: God made/ESTABLISHED covenant promises to Abraham 430 years before Sinai & the Sinai covenant. Cannot/doesn't/didn't invalidate the covenant previously established by Gods promises)
God charged/imputed/credited righteousness onto Abraham via faith/belief (Gen 15:6, Rom 4:22, Gal 3:6, Ja 2:23)
Rom 4:11 Abraham received the sign of circumcision, a seal or confirmation of the righteousness which he had by faith while [he was still] uncircumcised—this was so that he would be the [spiritual] father of all who believe without being circumcised—so that righteousness would be credited to them,
Rom 5:13 Sin was [committed] in the world before the Law [was given], but sin is not charged [against anyone] when there is no law [against it].
(MY NOTE: Sin isn't charged/imputed/credited apart from Mosaic law-that no one living to is under)
Jn 1:17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
(MY NOTE: Grace = our undeserved/unworked for favor/blessing from God. Is accessed through our faith placed in Christ's sin atoning death & resurrection)
Rom 2:14 (A) When Gentiles, who do not have the Law [since it was given only to Jews]
(MY NOTE: Gentiles were never under/had Mosaic law)
Rom 6:14 For sin will no longer be a master over you, since you are not under Law [as slaves], but under [unmerited] grace [as recipients of God’s favor and mercy].
(MY NOTE: Written to believers Rom 1:7. You're NOT under Mosaic law!)
Rom 4:15 For the Law results in [God’s] wrath [against sin], but where there is no law, there is no violation [of it either].
Rom 7:6 But now we have been released from the Law and its penalty, having died [through Christ] to that by which we were held captive, so that we serve [God] in the newness of the Spirit and not in the oldness of the letter [of the Law].
Rom 8:
1 Therefore there is now no condemnation [no guilty verdict, no punishment] for those who are in Christ Jesus [who believe in Him as personal Lord and Savior].
2 For the law of the Spirit of life [which is] in Christ Jesus [the law of our new being] has set you free from the law of sin and of death.
3 For what the Law could not do [that is, overcome sin and remove its penalty, its power] being weakened by the flesh [man’s nature without the Holy Spirit], God did: He sent His own Son in the likeness of sinful man as an offering for sin. And He condemned sin in the flesh [subdued it and overcame it in the person of His own Son],
A glimpse at new covenant law:
Ja 2:8 If, however, you are [really] fulfilling the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself [that is, if you have an unselfish concern for others and do things for their benefit]” you are doing well.
Rom 13:8 Owe nothing to anyone except to love and seek the best for one another; for he who [unselfishly] loves his neighbor has fulfilled the [essence of the] law.
Gal 5:14 For the whole Law is fulfilled in one precept, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself [that is, you shall have an unselfish concern for others and do things for their benefit].
1 Cor 13:
4 Love endures with patience and serenity, love is kind and thoughtful, and is not jealous or envious; love does not brag and is not proud or arrogant.
5 It is not rude; it is not self-seeking, it is not provoked [nor overly sensitive and easily angered]; it does not take into account a wrong endured.
6 It does not rejoice at injustice, but rejoices with the truth [when right and truth prevail].
7 Love bears all things [regardless of what comes], believes all things [looking for the best in each one], hopes all things [remaining steadfast during difficult times], endures all things [without weakening].
(MY NOTE: Love; patiently endues, is always kind, truthful & forgiving.
Love is never jealous, envious, boastful, proud, arrogant, rude selfish, provoked, vindictive.
Beyond loving God 1st & you're brother. New covenant is a system built on merit & reward, not punishment. (1 Cor 3:10-15, Matt 19:27-30)
