The Law Was Not Abolished

IN their anxiety to be rid of the Sabbath, many men now teach that the law of God was abolished at the cross. But the apostle John, fifty-nine years after the crucifixion, said: “Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law; for sin is the transgression of the law. And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins [transgressions of the law]; and in him is no sin [transgression of the law]. Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not [transgresseth not the law]; whosoever sinneth [transgresseth the law] hath not seen him, neither known him.” 1 John 3:4-6. That doesn't look as though the law was abolished.
