Ephesians 2:15 "Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;" Colossians 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;" The severity and judgment of the Mosaic law was paid in full by the Lord Jesus on behalf of those who are saved, born again, redeemed. 2 Corinthians 5:21 " For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him." As The Lord stated in John 19:30 just before dismissing His Spirit......... "IT IS FINISHED"

Colossians 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 Christians think the Ten Commandment Law of God was nailed to the cross, based on this scripture. Two Laws: 1. The Law of God (Ten Commandments," "Two tablets of the Testimony") the Moral Law, the Law of Love, and the Decalogue. 2. The Law of Moses (the "Book of the Law," "Book of the Covenant"), also known as the Ceremonial Law and the Mosaic Law. Paul speaks of two great laws. Galatians 3:10-13, he referred to the Law of Moses. In Romans 3:31 and he referred to the Ten Commandment Law of God established in our hearts by faith. The Law of Moses was symbolic and temporary and is what Paul is writing about in Colossians 2:14. (Gal 3:10-13). The Law of God the, Ten Commandments is Unchanging (Mt 5:18) are now written in our hearts. Romans 3:31 and Romans 7:12.
