Christ has fulfilled the Law of moses for everyone that is believing, that was the Laws end Rom 10:4
4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
He came to fulfill it Matt 5:17
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Even all of its ceremonial demands He fulfilled Matt 3:15
And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.
I agree. Jesus Christ did fulfill the Law of Moses. The Ceremonial Laws have been fulfilled and since His death and resurrection there no longer needs to be animal sacrifices anymore on Yom Kippur and other national Holydays.
However, the Law of Moses such as the Moral Law and the Social Law still exist and are valid as commands to God's people for their daily lives. We still are under the Law commanding "Thou shalt not have any gods before us," we must still obey the commands to "not take the Name of the Lord in vain" and other commands given to God's Chosen people Israel. Non-Hebrew Gentiles were never under the Abraham Covenant, never under the Mosaic Covenant, nor are they included in the New Covenant as prophesied by Jeremiah.
The New Covenant prophesied by Jeremiah in 31:31-34 is a covenant between the God of Abraham and the House of Israel (ten northern kingdom tribes), and the House of Judah (two southern kingdom tribes.)
It says in Jeremiah's prophecy that:
33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel;
After those days, saith the LORD,
I will put my law in their inward parts,
And write it in their hearts;
And will be their God,
And they shall be my people.
34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying,
Know the LORD:
For they shall all know me,
From the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD:
For I will forgive their iniquity,
And I will remember their sin no more.
Jeremiah 31:33–34.
Several questions need to be asked and answered.
QUESTIONS:
1. What Law is God going to put in the inward parts of the House of Israel?
2. What is it that God is going to "write in their hearts"?
3. What does God mean when He references "neighbor" and "brother"?
4. It says that God "will forgive their iniquity" and "remember their sin no more." How will God do this? What mechanism is there that will enable God to forgive Israel's iniquity? Under the Law God is able to forgive Israel's sins for one year called the most Holy day in Israel which is Yom Kippur. This Passover included the high priest offering a sacrifice as commanded by God in which the high priest lays his hands on the animal, and places" the sins of Israel upon the animal's head. This is called Substitutionary Sacrifice commanded and directed by God as part of the ritual yearly by which the sins of Israel are "placed" upon the animal, the animal is sacrificed, and the animal's blood is then sprinkled upon the people. God teaches us that "the soul that sinneth shall die." If Israel's sins are placed on the head of the animal, then this animal is supposed to die. But it does not die naturally as result of the sins of Israel the high priest symbolically placed upon its head, this is a representation, and so the animal must be physically killed. Thus, it is to show that the result of sin is death. After this the high priest sprinkles the blood of the just sacrificed animal upon the people (Israel) and this blood is supposed to cover Israel for one year adding God's intention to Passover Israel's sins for one year. After that one year, the process is repeated.
ANSWERS:
1. and 2. The Scriptures reveal that the Law of Moses serves as a symbolic precursor to the Holy Spirit of Promise. The Ten Commandments, the bedrock of God's moral law, were divinely inscribed, outlining the outward obedience required of Israel. Yet, Israel's repeated failures to uphold even one commandment exposed their fundamental inability to perfectly adhere to God's entire Law. This inherent human failing underscored the necessity of a divine intervention: God sent His sinless Son, Jesus Christ, as the perfect, unblemished sacrifice. During His earthly ministry, Jesus fulfilled every aspect of the Mosaic Law. As a result, God mercifully transferred Israel's sins onto His Son, decreeing His death as the singular, eternal atonement, replacing the temporary animal sacrifices. Jesus, God's own sinless Lamb, willingly bore the weight of Israel's iniquities, His sacrificial blood providing ultimate cleansing and appeasing God's righteous wrath. "Nailing the Law to His cross" symbolizes Jesus' substitutionary role for sinners. In Roman culture, the condemned person's crimes were often posted on their cross. In Jesus' case, "the Law" was nailed to His cross, signifying that
He bore the guilt of Israel's failure to obey God's Law. This act identifies Jesus not as inherently sinful, but as the one who was
accused and condemned in the place of sinners, taking on their transgressions as if they were His own. At His final Passover, Jesus established a
New Covenant through His body and blood. This covenant, prophesied by Jeremiah (31:31-34), promised to
forgive Israel's sins and remember them no more. This forgiveness isn't based on the old sacrificial system, but on Jesus' ultimate sacrifice, which fulfilled that system. Because of His sacrifice, God can now truly forgive Israel's sins and remember them no more. Furthermore, as Ezekiel 36 foretold, God gives Israel a
new heart. This miraculous transformation happens through the Holy Spirit, whom Jesus described as the "kingdom of God... within you." When someone experiences spiritual rebirth, or is
"born again of the Spirit," it signifies the indwelling of the
Holy Spirit. This Spirit is described as the
Law God places within a person's "inward parts," enabling it to directly guide and lead their behavior. If they sin, the Holy Spirit convicts them from within, much like the Law written on stone once convicted from without.
ANSWERS
3. The terms "
neighbor" and "
brother" in Jeremiah 31 are not general references, but specific identifiers for individuals within the twelve tribes of Israel. Following the construction of the Tabernacle, God systematically allocated land, arranging three tribes each to the north, east, west, and south. Consequently, if someone from one tribe sinned against their "neighbor," it meant they had wronged a member of an
adjacent tribe. The use of "brother," however, indicated a sin committed against a person from
their own tribe.
ANSWERS:
4. The Scriptures declare God will "forgive their iniquity" and "remember their sin no more." But what mechanism allows for such profound forgiveness? Under the Mosaic Law, God instituted
Yom Kippur, the most holy day, to achieve annual atonement for Israel's sins. Central to this Passover ritual was a
divinely commanded substitutionary sacrifice. The high priest would symbolically transfer Israel's sins onto an animal by laying hands on its head. This animal, now bearing the nation's guilt, was then physically put to death, illustrating the universal truth that "the soul that sins shall die." This forced death, rather than a natural one, powerfully underscored that sin leads to death. The subsequent sprinkling of the animal's blood upon the people served to
cover Israel's sins for a single year, a temporary measure of God's mercy, necessitating its yearly repetition.
With the arrival of God's sinless and unblemished Son, He was ordained as "the Lamb of God." God intended to place Israel's sins upon Him and sacrifice Him on
Passover, Israel's holiest day. This sacrifice was accepted by God as a
final and eternal atonement for Israel's sins.
Because this human sacrifice took place "under the Law" and aligned with the existing sacrificial system God commanded in Israel's past, it became the very mechanism God used to atone for Israel's sins. Now, through
Jesus' blood, God is able to forgive Israel's sin and remember it no more, just as the prophet Jeremiah foretold. Thus, the New Covenant is only the Mosaic Covenant fulfill by Christ.
