In other words, the Law and Prophets are copies and shadows of that perfect fulfillment.

The newness of the Spirit - or spirit of the Law - is the perfect fulfillment of all things written in the Law and Prophets, being realized in the spiritual temple and body of Christ. Therefore, if we sin according to the Law, then we place ourselves back under the Law - and if we continue to willfully sin, then there no longer remains a sacrifice for our sin. If we are no longer under the Law, it doesnвЂ™t mean we cannot sin. However, the Law is the prism through which we see and understand sin - the Law is not the same thing as sin. Those who serve in newness of Spirit are also no longer married to the Law - but rather they are married to the Lord Jesus Himself. Those who have faith in Him die with Him, being released from the letter of the Law - the elementary principles of this world - to serve in newness of Spirit. What the sin offering could not do - take away sin - the Lord Jesus actually did by causing the cessation of sin in those who have faith in Him. The Lord Jesus fulfilled and did away with the law of sin offering - Himself and His own work being foreshadowed by the law of sin offering. Due to this flaw in the Old Covenant, the New Covenant was made where any Adamic person could attain to the righteousness of faith in the Lord Jesus. We established that all Israel - along with the nations - were consigned to sin, because the Law was unable to make Israel righteous - despite itself being a standard of righteousness. In The Spirit Of The Law - Romans 7 & 8 (Part 1), we briefly summarized Romans 3 вЂ“ 6 and began to examine Romans 7:1-6.
