Eph 2:15 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;
(MY NOTE: The enmity is two fold [required punishments/judgments/levied] & the recognized status/standing separating Jew & Gentile)
Christ's sin atoning payment; abolished/removed [for the believer] the legal penalties contained/levied "in the letter/law" & its ordinances. Christ became sin & died fulfilling the laws required wade/price. By paying sin required price, He removed every believers sins. And became the conduit for both Jew & Gentile to access the Father.
Col 2:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and """took it out of the way"""", nailing it to his cross;
The handwriting of ordinances = Is the law: "Do this and thou shalt live", "the soul that sinneth, shall die". Sin & its judgment is the failure to do our part that "stands against us". A penalty & payment is required for the failure.
The verse states Christ's payment made on the cross: Blotted out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us [blotted out, took away the legal penalties/judgments contained/required/levied for sin & nailed to His cross! < Past Tense/DONE DEAL] By paying sins required price & blotting out the handwriting of ordinances. The believers burden to pay sin debt owed has been lifted/removed/PAID in full. Now on the merit of Jesus one time sin payment. Every believer receives a full sin pardon. He took all their judgment when He bought & paid for every sin they owed, death included.

55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
(MY NOTE: Once Christ removes the believers sin. No law transgressions remain. Thank you Lord Jesus. Amen)
