How are we under the Law?

Beloved friends
God loves us all my dear friend
Rom 10:4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
But was that the end to the Law? I say No because the law is still needed but we are no longer bond to it but we reach to learn it and live by it out of love but as a free child.
Matt 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
We must search the scriptures to see what these two commandments cover and learn what it means to love God with all our heart, soul, and spirit the mind and what it is to love our neighbor.
Now there are things in the books of old that we do in our heart like the outward cleaning for sins or touching a dead body the burn offerings. Christ was the last outward offering all others are done in the heart as is circumcision it is no more of the outward flesh but of the inward heart.
Look
Gal 3:24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. 25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
The outward actions getting them to live by the law as become a inward action in our hearts but we need the schoolmaster to teach our hearts or the mind of our hearts what is right and just.
There is a end of commandments and it is love.
1 Ti 1:5 Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:
Just like the commandments of what not to eat we are to do what is best for our bodies not out of bond to the law but out of love to the truth.
Gal 4:23 But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.
The one born after the freewoman were still bond to the law but they were to be free by the coming promise of the coming Christ.
Heb 6:18 That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:
Heb 6:17 Wherein God, willing more abundantly to show unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:
These two verses show there is no immutable laws so we learn by all laws from the beginning and we look to see which ones to do within our hearts and which one’s to all so do in a outward action like loving one another.
We are either bond to the flesh or free to live by the heart of the spirit of Christ in us.
I will stop here and wait to see what you say.
Thank you
with love and a holy kiss blowing your way Roy
