Now whatever in the Sinaitic covenant [i.e. the Law] was intended (1) to preserve and distinguish the people as a nation in a particular land, and (2) to point them to Christ by means of ceremonies and sacraments, has ceased to be binding on the church. But by the same token, what was the expression of God's created intention for man remains in place.... So we are Ephesians 2:15-16 Christians: the ceremonial law is fulfilled. We are Colossians 2:14-17 Christians: the civil law distinguishing Jew and Gentile is fulfilled. And we are Romans 8:3-4 Christians: the moral law has also been fulfilled in Christ. But rather than being abrogated, that fulfillment is now repeated in us as we live in the power of the Holy Spirit.... That is why in Romans 13:8-10, Ephesians 6:1, and in other places the apostle takes for granted the abiding relevance of the law of God for the life of the believer. The Old Testament saint knew that while condemned by the law he had breached, its ceremonial provisions pointed him to the way of forgiveness.
