Quote★★★★

This “handwriting of ordinances” our Lord did blot out, take away, and nail to the cross. (Colossians 2:14.) But the moral law containing the Ten Commandments, and enforced by the prophets, He did not take away….The moral law stands on an entirely different foundation from the ceremonial or ritual law….Every part of this law must remain in force upon all mankind and in all ages. –John Wesley, Sermons on Several Occasions, 2nd Edition, vol. 1, p. 221.

John Wesley, Sermons on Several Occasions, 221.

The point

Christ abolished the ceremonial law at the cross but left the moral law, including the Ten Commandments, binding on all people.
