Christ said He came to fulfill the Law.

And in that passage, Jesus said the law would pass away when all was fulfilled. He fulfilled it.

When Jesus declared the New Covenant, the old passed away.
Hebrews 8:13 "In that He says, 'A new covenant,' He has made the first obsolete."

Likewise, when Jesus gave us a New Commandment in John 13:34, the old passed away. When Paul says we died and were delivered from the law (Rom 7:6), his example of the law is the Tenth Commandment (Rom 7:7).

What I find astonishing is the lack of knowledge of New Testament Commandments, such as: (where the word 'command' or 'commandment' is used)
Acts 17:30
John 13:34
1 John 3:23 (the New Testament version of the great commandment)
1 Cor 7:10-11
1 Cor 14:37
1 Thess 4:2-8
1 Cor 9:14
There are more.

No, He never said that. The Law stands forever (Psalms 111:7,8). The Old Covenant expired and the New Covenant replaced it but the Law remains the same. The only law that was abolished and nailed to the cross was the law of ordinances and ceremonies which did nothing to save us but POINTED to to the sacrifice of Christ. Do not conflate the two totally different laws.
