Read Romans and you'll see how that branch was cut off, and another grafted on, since no one can be justified by the law, being sinners at heart one and all. The law itself, according to Christian interpretation, aside from preserving civility among God's chosen, was given precisely to reveal how, without the dispensation of the holy spirit through the death and resurrection of Christ, all people are well, powerless, to engineer their own salvation, even through a vain attempt to live and be judged by the standard of the law. The law of Moses is just the final demonstration of man's fallen nature, who lives according to the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The law spells death for man, in the absence of the tree of life. There is the law, and then there's the very height of the law, as the standard by which people are judged according not to the law, but according to faith, without which the law has no meaning. In other words the cross is both the standard by which we who believe are judged or who pass under judgement, and the pen, which inscribes the law onto the heart, in love, so that in following, we need not try to conform to the law, but become transformed in accordance with the spirit, and the will of God. Christ, from this interpretation is therefore the completion of the law, in love. He is the resolution of the paradox of having a law which we as sinners are not capable of justifying outselves by, because as Paul realised, the attempt to do so, leads to either damnation and death through sin, or by the sin of self righteousness, and of a self professed holiness, which amounts to nothing more than assholiness in the sight of God who knows and can probe into the very deepest darkest depths of the human heart. And so we are left to probe the brightest depths and heighest hights of the cross of Christ, who's vicarious blood offering is the greater standard, and one which we can live by, in forgiveness, and in a progression into the holy of holies where sin is no longer a desirable option.
