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: (Colossians 2:16)

Under the Old Testament dispensation, men were
executed for their failure to obey the sabbath. Today, we
are told that no man can judge us if we choose not to
observe the sabbath. There is an obvious difference, so we
had better make sure that we know which program is
operating today.

23. If we do not need to keep the law today to be saved,
then what is the use of the law today?

The function of the law today is to act as a
schoolmaster to bring us to Christ.

Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us
unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a
schoolmaster. (Galatians 3:24,25)

The law declares an individual to be a sinner by showing
him that there is no possible way for him to fulfill the law.

Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be
justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of
sin. (Romans 3:20)

Once the law demonstrates to a sinner his need for
redemption, the law has fulfilled its purpose for today in his
life.
