God's Word is alive, However His Laws have a new ministration. They have been placed in the hearts and minds of all who accept this gift of the Gospel, though Jesus Christ. But they are no longer something that we are under, something that we obey, therefore they are not laws per say. We went from having to obey the Law to being the Law through Faith. If our hearts and minds have been changed and we are this new person in Christ, a new creature, the Temple of God. God working in us to both will and do His good pleasure, then it is no matter a matter of obedience but of nature. The new ministration is ministered by the works of the Law through the believer not the words of the Law dictated from stone. Like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also walk in newness of life, we are in Christ, a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; We are alive in his righteousness, living through His Faith, by faith: by whose stripes we were and are healed. For as many as have been baptized into Christ, have put on Christ, the full armor of God. They have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. We are crucified with Christ: nevertheless we live; yet not us, but Christ liveth in us: and the life which we now live in the flesh we live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved us, and gave himself for us. Now there is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism. Fitly framed together, the Holy Temple in the Lord: In whom you also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit. (Rom 6:1-7; 2Cor 5:17-18;1Pet 2:21; Gal 5:24, 2:20; Eph 4:4,5, 2:21-22)
