There has to be a law transgressed to have sin.

Now, you're getting into the 'meat' of the word...

2Co 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

Rom 3:19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.

Rom 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

Gal 5:18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

5:13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.

Rom 4:8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.

Rom 6:5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: Rom 6:6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

Rom 6:7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.

Rom 6:11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Rom 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

Rom 6:18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.

1Jn 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

1Jn 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

And of course the naysayers claim this refers to the ceremonial law which is not true...

Rom 7:7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.

Coveteousness is not part of the ceremonial law...It's the Ten Commandments...

None of what you quote says the law does not still apply. What was fulfilled is that the individual need NOT supply a ‘blood’ sacrifice as demonstration of repentance. The law or religious legal system of the OLD and the leavening in of men’s traditions are no longer in affect.

But it is NOT correct to say Christians are no longer required to obey the law. Even the founders of this nation followed the ‘law and order’ Creator in penning our Constitution and it is terribly misleading for Christians to make a claim of the law no longer being in effect.

Grace means that through the death of the only perfect born of woman flesh was sacrificed as the one and for all time blood sacrifice. His death did not end the law but fulfilled that particular requirement under the law to have a blood sacrifice as the requirement to have sins forgiven. Of course there were other ‘offerings’ given with blood sacrifices to demonstrate the person’s faith in the Living God as Creator and where all blessings of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness come. Those were done away and would be an affront to the Heavenly Father to claim blood sacrifices would ever again be of His requirement.
