WRITTEN CODE WITH ITS REGULATIONS / COLOSSIANS 2:14

(KJV) Colossians 2:14

Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;

This refers to the Law of Moses (the law God gave Israel through the prophet/leader Moses), which included a moral code of commandment that set standard for right conduct but could not give life and the power to obey God (Galatians 3:21). In effect, the commandments simply exposed our offenses against God and our human inability to live up to God’s perfect standard (Romans 7:7). The old covenant as a way of maintaining a relationship with God (through keeping commands and making sacrifices) has been nailed to the cross because Christ fulfilled the law perfectly and became the perfect sacrifice once and for all. In the process, God established a better covenant through Christ’s life and by the power of His Spirit (2 Corinthians 3:6-9; Hebrews 8:6-13; 10:16-17, 29; 12:24). That is to say, God canceled the law’s accusations against those who respond to Christ in faith, accept His forgiveness and entrust their lives to Him. This does not mean that God’s laws and commands are obsolete (Romans 7:12, 16; 1 Timothy 1:8). They still expose sin and point people to their need for Christ. In addition, God’s law and His standards of moral conduct are still valid for Christ’s followers. The difference is that now Christians have the power – through the Holy Spirit – to meet “the righteous requirements of the law” (Romans 8:4) – not to gain salvation or favor with God, but to show their love and gratitude to Him.
