(15) Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;

(27) And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

(Gal 3:16) Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
(Gal 3:19) Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.
What does Colossians 2:16 mean regarding the Sabbath?
Col 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
Lev 16:30-31 For on that day shall the priest make an atonement for you, to cleanse you, that ye may be clean from all your sins before the LORD. (31) It shall be a sabbath of rest unto you, and ye shall afflict your souls, by a statute for ever.
(Lev 23:37) These are the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD, a burnt offering, and a meat offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, every thing upon his day:
(Lev 23:38) Beside the sabbaths of the LORD, and beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill offerings, which ye give unto the LORD.
(Lev 23:39) Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast unto the LORD seven days: on the first day shall be a sabbath, and on the eighth day shall be a sabbath.
The Feast days were sometimes spoken of in the OT as Sabbath days, but we must not confuse them with the weekly 7th day Sabbath.
(Lev 23:3) Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings.
(Deu 9:10) And the LORD delivered unto me two tables of stone written with the finger of God; and on them was written according to all the words, which the LORD spake with you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly.
(Exo 31:18) And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.
1. Christ came to fulfill the law, not to abolish it.
Matthew 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
2. Jesus Came to Magnify the Meaning of the Law.
Isaiah 42:21 The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable.
3. The Purpose Of The Law Is To Love.
Romans 13:10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
Matthew 22:37-40 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.
4. Love and Keeping the Commandments Go Together.
John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
5. Paul States in No Uncertain Terms That the Law Is Not Made Void Through Faith.
Romans 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
Romans 6:1-2 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? [2] God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
Romans 6:14-15 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. [15] What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.
6. God's law is holy, just, and good.
(Rom 7:12) Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
(Neh 9:13) Thou camest down also upon mount Sinai, and spakest with them from heaven, and gavest them right judgments, and true laws, good statutes and commandments:
7. God's 10 Commandments Cannot Change.
Psalms 89:34 My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.
(Num 23:20) Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it.
Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
(Mal 3:6) For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
(Isa 40:8) The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.
(Luk 16:17) And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.
(Mat 5:17) Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
(Mat 5:18) For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
(Mat 5:19) Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
(Jas 2:10) For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
(Jas 2:11) For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.
(Jas 2:12) So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.
Therefore the 7th Day Sabbath is still Bidding because it is one of God's Commandments.
