Eph 2:15
Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;

Q - Does this mean we no longer have to obey God's Ten Commandments?
A - "No, Paul is referring to the Jewish ceremonial laws that pointed to Jesus' birth and crucfixion. (Gal 3:23) But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. (Gal 3:24) Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. "
