The Passing Away of the Law - A Brief Summary

A Brief Scriptural Summary:

Only the children of Israel came to be under the Law Covenant through Moses, and it was binding only to the children of Israel, those who became proselytes to Israel, and any foreign person residing in the land of Israel. All others were never bound to the Law Covenant made with Israel. -- Exodus 12:43,45; 19:5,6; Deuteronomy 4:4; 7:6; 14:21; 26:18; Psalm 147:19; Isaiah 63:19; Amos 3:2; Romans 2:12,14; 3:1,2.

The Jew who accepts Christ is no longer bound by the Law, since he is reckoned as dead to the law through Jesus; for all other Jews the Law is still binding and these remain under its curse as long as each lives.  -- Luke 16:14-31; Romans 7:1-6; 1 Corinthians 7:39; 2 Corinthians 3:14.

Being loosed from bondage to the Law Covenant does not release one from God's eternal law upon which the Law Covenant is based. -- Matthew 22:37-30; Romans 13:10; Galatians 5:14; Colossians 2:16,17; Hebrews 7:11-28; 8:4,5,13; 10:1; James 2:8.

For those under the Law Covenant, that covenant has not passed away; those still under the law are still bound to that law to this day, and are still under its curse. Once, however, every Jew has either died physically, or has become reckoned as dead through Christ, the old Law Covenant will vanish. Jesus indicated that the present heavens and earth must pass away before the Law covenant vanishes. -- Matthew 5:18; Luke 16:17; Hebrews 8:13; 2 Peter 3:10.
