COL 2:13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;

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;

Many judeo-christian churches today teach that Gods law has been done away with. That Gods law is gone. If one studies the whole word of God closely a different very defined answer is found. Read the following verses and think of this as slicing off the outside until we are left the with the thin path of truth that is true in all the verses.

MAT 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled..

MAT 5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach [them], the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

Since heaven and earth have yet to pass away, nothing has passed from God's law. Also we are to not break or teach men to break the commandments.

DEU 5:10 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.

DEU 7:9 Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he [is] God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;

We can see that God promises blessings to those that obey His laws. Some may argue... but that's the old testament. as if God's promises are no longer in effect.

JHN 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

JHN 15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

1JO 5:2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.

1JO 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

We can also see in the new testament that the law is good.

ROM 7:12 Wherefore the law [is] holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.

The law condemns us as sinners

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

But through Christ we are no longer under the condemnation of the law, but does that mean the laws of God are of none effect?

ROM 6:15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.

The law still exists to condemn some and to be a school master that bring others to repentance and a knowledge of Christ

ROM 7:7 What shall we say then? [Is] the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.

GAL 3:17 And this I say, [that] the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.
GAL 3:18 For if the inheritance [be] of the law, [it is] no more of promise: but God gave [it] to Abraham by promise.
GAL 3:19 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.
GAL 3:20 Now a mediator is not [a mediator] of one, but God is one.
GAL 3:21 [Is] the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.
GAL 3:22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
GAL 3:23 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
GAL 3:24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster [to bring us] unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
GAL 3:25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
GAL 3:26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
GAL 3:27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
