"For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes." Romans 10:4
Colossians 2:13,14,16 " ... He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our transgressions, having cancelled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross."
Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink (clean or unclean food) or in respect to an (annual) festival or a (monthly) new moon, or a (weekly) Sabbath day - ..."
So even though the Law of Moses was "nailed to the cross", Paul said that all men have the law of Moses "written in their hearts". However, when we come to Christ, we are no longer under the Law of Moses - now we are under the law of Christ.
Romans 2:14-16 "For when Gentiles who do not have the Law do instinctively the things of the Law, these, not having the Law, are a law to themselves, in that they show the work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness and their thoughts alternately accusing or else defending them, on the day when, according to my gospel, God will judge the secrets of men through Christ Jesus."
1 Corinthians 9:21 " ... though not being without the law of God but under the law of Christ, ..."
There seems to be a specific time in history, however, when the Old Covenant was no longer in effect, and the New Covenant began.
Mark 1:1 "The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God."
Luke 16:16 "The Law and the Prophets (were) until John; since that time the gospel of the kingdom of God has been preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it."
John 1:17 "For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ."
The Old Covenant is also called "the law and the prophets", or just "law", or "the Law of Moses."
The New Covenant is also called "the kingdom of God", or "the law of Christ", or "the gospel".
