Without getting into a huge debate or discussion, yes we are no longer judged solely by the law. Old Testiment Saints were saved by thier sincere belief that God would send a Saviour, they did not keep the law perfectly, they couldn’t.
Christ did not abolish the law. The law is still held up to us as a mirror pointing out our sins. We must do our best to obey Gods law. We are free because of Christs sacrifice. I would like to see 1 passage that tells us to ignore the law, don’t worry about it, do what you want, it’s no longer in effect. Christ told us be perfect, as God is perfect.

Galatians 3:24-25 NKJV
24 Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
25 But after faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.

The law was our tutor, or schoolmaster as it is translated in the KJV, and now we are no longer under that tutor.
