The Law: are the Commandments given by YHVH (Jehovah) Almighty God to the people of Israel (children of Jacob) through Moses.
The law is written in the books of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy:this last book is a summary made in Babylon when the tribe of Judah with another tribe who decided to stay with the tribe of Judah after the separation of the 10 tribes were taken to Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar.
^ Jesus says about the law:
"Do not suppose that I came to throw down the law or the prophets -- I did not come to throw down, but to fulfill".
But now you need no longer worry about the Jewish laws and customs because you “died” while in their captivity, and now you can really serve Almighty God; not in the old way, mechanically obeying a set of rules, but in the new way, with all of our hearts and minds, we obey to Holy Spirit.
Well then, am I suggesting that these laws of God are evil?
Of course not!
No, the law is not sinful, but it was the law that showed me my sin.
I would never have known the sin in my heart—the evil desires that are hidden there—if the law had not said, “You must not have evil desires in your heart.” But sin used this law against evil desires by reminding me that such desires are wrong, and arousing all kinds of forbidden desires within me!
Only if there were no laws to break would there be no sinning.
That is why I felt fine so long as I did not understand what the law really demanded. But when I learned the truth, I realized that I had broken the law and was a sinner, doomed to die.
So as far as I was concerned, the good law which was supposed to show me the way of life resulted instead in my being given the death penalty. Sin fooled me by taking the good laws of Almighty God and using them to make me guilty of death. But still, you see, the law itself was wholly right and good.
Matthew 5:17
"With all the earnestness I have I say: Every law in the Book will continue until its purpose is achieved. And so if anyone breaks the least commandment and teaches others to, he shall be the least in the Kingdom of Heaven.
But those who teach Almighty God’s laws and obey them shall be great in the Kingdom of Heaven".
Matthew 5:18-19

Romans 7:6-12
^ Peter the Apostle of Jesus says:
"And remember why he is waiting. Jesus Christ is giving us time to get his message of salvation out to others.
Our wise and beloved brother Paul has talked about these same things in many of his letters. Some of his comments are not easy to understand, and there are people who are deliberately stupid, and always demand some unusual interpretation—they have twisted his letters around to mean something quite different from what he meant, just as they do the other parts of the Scripture—and the result is disaster for them".
2 Peter 3:15-16
^Conclusion,
But you, dear friends, since you know this in advance, guard yourselves; so that you will not be led away by the errors of the wicked and fall from your own faith. And keep growing in grace and knowledge of our Lord and Deliverer Jesus the Messiah. To Jesus Christ be the glory, both now and forever! Amen.
2 Peter 3:17-18
