You are released from the law of Moses, or sacrificial law. We are no longer under that system. Christ fulfilled it.
However, the Ten Commandments are valid. They are designed to point out sin and they do so effectively. Grace gives us another chance when we break that law, which is what grace is designed to do.
“Do we then make void the law through faith? Certainly not! On the contrary, we establish the law†(Romans 3:31).
“What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not! Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness?†(Romans 6:15, 16).

Great peace have those who love Your law,
And nothing causes them to stumble.
LORD, I hope for Your salvation,
And I do Your commandments (Psalm 119:165, 166).
Can we do it? I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
