I'm confused. If Paul said the Law no longer applies, doesn't that contradict the words of Jesus? Jesus said he would change "not a jot nor a tittle" of the Law. Serious question.
That’s a good question because there are multiple uses of the word “Law”. There is the ceremonial law, the civil law, and the Mosaic Law or 10 commandments.
The former 2 were particular to national Israel and passed away in the New Covenant so you don’t have to be circumcised and we don’t execute fornicators.
Christ fulfilled the Mosaic Law for His people and it is now meant to instruct us on what a life of gratitude for salvation ought to look like. For those outside Christ’s people they continue to bear the penalty of their violation of the same.
This is where the Apostle Paul is particularly helpful. He breaks it down very nicely in Romans chapters 2 & 3.
That’s my imperfect understanding of it anyway...
