The Law has fulfilled its purpose, and now Christ brings eternal life. Christ teaches that the Ten Commandments remain central to this eternal life. The Law served its role until Christ’s coming, after which He emphasized the commandments, but the Holy Spirit now takes over.
With Christ’s arrival, the Holy Spirit replaced the Law’s function. However, over the past 2,000 years, we have also been guided by the traditions of the apostles. Christ came, then the Holy Spirit, and since then, centuries of experience have confirmed the apostolic traditions and the lessons of life. We now have a wealth of guidance to follow.
