When God gave the Law to Moses and the Israelites he was continuing to work out his eternal unchanging plan. When God sent his son, Jesus Christ, he was fulfilling that eternal plan. What the Law was incapable of doing was fully accomplished in the person of Christ. Though we are no longer under the Old Testament Law we are not lawless. God's Spirit deals with our inner attitudes and motivates us to live right before God, not as ritual but as relationship.
Main Passages: Matthew 5:17-19, Romans 7-8
