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.
What about the heaven and earth passing, which you over and over neglect to deal with. Are the words of Jesus just a joke to you?
Matthew 5:18 English Standard Version (ESV)
18 For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished.
Heaven and earth has not passed away and the law is still valid, but Jesus' followers are not under it, because he has fulfilled it for us.
