We were never justified by the Law... What we call the NC is actually a much older covenant than the Law covenant, and even from the moment it was instituted no one was justified by it, nor was ever chosen because of it (the Law, or one's ability to keep it) but even while under the Law, it was always by Faith, (that they were chosen and justified by God and saved, are called or were called His, ect, all that) and never by (one's ability to keep) the Law...
So, why the Law...? It was God saying basically, "I will use this to show man his own ways, and for a time, since they insist on walking in their own ways (will, effort, ect) (and not by Faith in Me, ect), for a time, and for a very good reason an purpose, for a time, I will judge them by their own ways, and even make them go by their own ways, until such a time (Until Christ) as they will no longer walk in their own ways anymore, (and go back the the prior covenant of Faith), then I will have mercy upon them and show them mercy...
But the people God chose, and the what we would call the "New Covenant" is not new, but is old, and predates the Law and goes all the back to and gets it's origins from, the original command that was in and from the beginning... And, the people God chose and helped and saved, was not ever based on Law, in fact, the Law had very little to nothing to do with it, ever, and God has not changed in that or this, in that it was always by and was always because of "Faith" and never Law, ever...
God saw certain people with Faith, and said or concluded that He could "do something with that" and that was the basis by which he chose, always... and was never because of Law or ones own ability to keep or obey the Law, ever, not even while under Law or when and while the Law was instituted or was put into effect... It (The Law Covenant) does not invalidate the covenant the preceded it (The Covenant of Faith)... So, you right, God has not changed and never changed, but He has always made it about faith and not Law, ever... And the Covenant of faith, is the New Covenant, only it is not new at all, but is very, very old, predating the Law by far, ect...
The Covenant of Faith is by the Spirit and not just the letter, but the Law Covenant is the flesh, and is restricted and very limited by the being limited to just the "letter" (of the or any Law)...
The Law or even keeping the or any written down rule of Law or commands or commandments, or the, or any letter of any Law, are secondary to the Covenant that preceded it, that was greater than it... And in obeying it, sin is covered and is forgiven... It is obeyed in the Spirit, and by the Spirit, and is all the "greater matters of "THE LAW" or the Law" from the beginning, that the letter cannot do or be, ever... But is in our hearts by the Spirit...
God Bless!
