Romans 8:1 Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death. 3 For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, 4 so that the requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

The 'law' of sin and death required the law breaker to sacrifice living creatures for the remission of sin. Christ became the perfect One for all time blood sacrifice, also called 'blood ordinances'. It is indeed great liberty to have direct access to the Heavenly Father in Christ without the required blood sacrifice. None of this changes the fact that the Ten Commandments are still in effect.

Sabbath means 'rest' and it is in Christ we rest everyday not just Saturday or Sunday. Christians do not lie, cheat, steal, covet, murder, or have other gods, idols. There does seem to be a whole lot of acceptable adultery/idolatry. Yes, we all are sinners because we are flesh. But to claim Christ erased these laws and Christians are free to be lawless is, a road map to, well you know where the bad people get sent.

There's a good article on that I would suggest you read. Did Christ Abolish the Law of Moses?.
