Before making the statements concerning the Law you need to understand what the New Covenant entails. Obviously from your initial post you dont quite understand what the New Covenant is so. Lets look into that and to whom it was promised.
First to understand the new we must understand the old and which covenant are we talking about for God made many covenants prior to the New.
The first covenant God made was to Noah, Gen. 6:18 But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons wives with thee. The covenant was the promise to protect them through the flood after he, Noah, had built the ark. Notice this is a two fold agreement, you build the ark, I will protect you. All covenants are two fold, each party has a part to play else the covenant is violated and becomes void.
Upon completion of this covenant, after the flood, God makes yet another covenant with Noah, which extends to ALL Noahs offspring and everything that was in the ark with Noah. Gen. 9:9 And behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you; and with every living creature that
with you, of the foul, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth. And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there be any more a flood to destroy the earth. As a token of this covenant God place a rainbow in the sky and every time it is viewed after it rains it is there to remind us of this covenant made to our ancestral father: Verse 16-17 And the (rain)bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that
upon the earth. And God said unto Noah, This
the token of the covenant, which I have established between me, and all flesh that
upon the earth. This covenant is an everlasting covenant, it will not and can not be broken either by God or any other party to the covenant.
Now the one covenant that is most recognized and accepted is that of the one may by God to Abram: Gen. 15:18 In the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates;. Read the preceding verses to understand the process in which this covenant was made. For Abrams part, he was to remain faithful to the Lord in all things for the covenant to remain valid, even to the sacrificing of his own son, Isaac, as commanded by God. In chapter 17 this same covenant is reemphasized.
Now let us look at how God remembered this covenant with Abram (Abraham):
Exodus 2:24 And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. We see in this verse that not only was the covenant made with Abraham but that it was also extended to his son and his grandson, as was promised in the original covenant with Abraham. And now God is remembering that covenantal promise generations later when Israel is in slavery to the Egyptians. See now who that very same covenant now belongs: Exodus 6:4-5 And I have also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers. And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage; and I have remembered my covenant. This covenant was passed down from generation to generation continued to those that were in captivity (slavery). That covenant was accomplished and completed when Moses lead the people out of Egypt and into the Land of Canaan, after they rebelled several times to whit God could have nullified the covenant but didnt. A new covenant was made with the Israelites at Marah with God: Exodus 15:25-26 And he cried unto the Lord; and the Lord shewed him a tree,
when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a stature and an ordinance, and there he proved them. And said, if thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is right inn his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I
the Lord that healeth thee. Exodus 19:5-9 No therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth
mine: and ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These
the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Isreal. And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which the Lord commanded him. And all the people answered together and said, all that the Lord hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the Lord. Thus was a new covenant made between God and the descendents of Abraham. The following chapters recount the exact nature of the covenant with all its provisions, ordinances and statutes and how the Israelites failed from the beginning but God, in his mercy, continued to honor his part.
The main part of Gods covenant requirements are found within his Laws which were given first after which were given the sacrificial and festal requirements.
So what is contained within the New Covenant? Are we now free from the Law and allowed now only to live by the law of love? To understand what is contained within the New Covenant we must read Ezekiel 16:60 Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish unto thee an everlasting covenant. Here we see that the new covenant will be an everlasting covenant just as the covenant God made with Noah, his offspring and all the creatures of the world after the flood. It is to be a covenant of peace: Ezekiel 34: 20-25 Therefore thus saith the Lord God unto them; behold I,
I, will judge between the fat cattle and between the lean cattle. Because ye have thrust with side and with shoulder, and pushed all the diseased with your horns, till ye have scattered them abroad; Therefore will I save my flock and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between cattle and cattle. And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them
my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd. And I the Lord will be their God, and my servant David a prince among them; I the Lord have spoken
And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell safely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods.
Ezekiel 37:26 Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore. It is an everlasting covenant of peace; and where is this covenant to be written and what is to be written there?
Jeremiah 31:31-34 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day
I took them by the hand to bring them out of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the Lord: But this
the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, 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.
It is a covenant by which we learn to not only love the Lord but to fear the Lord.
Jeremiah 32:40 And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me.
