Good to know where you stand on these things.
The law didn't go away, but Jesus fulfilled it for us. When we have the Spirit of Christ, we are not under the law.
Romans 8:3-4 English Standard Version (ESV)
3 For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, 4 in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
Romans 6:14 English Standard Version (ESV)
14 For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.
So the law still exists, but God imputes his righteousness to his followers, because Jesus has fulfilled the requirements of the law for us.
