no what?? the new covenant is not with the House of Israel as is stated by God's prophet Jeremiah ??
Both. In Romans 6:14, Paul described the law that we are not under as being law where sin had dominion over us, which does not describe the Law of God, but rather that is the role of the law of sin.

Before the coming of this faith, we were held in custody under the law, locked up until the faith that was to come would be revealed. So the law was our guardian until Christ came that we might be justified by faith. 25 Now that this faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian. Gal3:23&24
What law?
A child no longer needs a guardian to help them cross a busy street safely when they have been taught how to do that on their own, but that no longer means that they no longer need to cross busy streets safely. A student does not move on to algebra by disregarding everything that they were taught about addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Christ did not being his ministry with the message to stop repenting because the Law of God has ended now that he has come and we are now free to become doers of what it reveals to be wickedness, but just the opposite, he began his ministry with the Gospel message to repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand, which was in accordance with him being sent as the promised seed to bless us by turning us from our wickedness (Acts 3:25-26).
However, the point Paul was making is that because we who believe in Jesus Christ for salvation have the Holy Spirit within us. we no longer need the external Law to guide or restrain us. People who still need the Law to guide and restrain them are not being led by the Spirit.
In Christ we are both from Judah and Israel. We are children of promise (Israel) and we are of the line of Christ, the King (Judah).

Do you think that the Law leads us to Christ because it was given in order to teach us how to know him or so that we can then reject everything he taught and go back to being workers of lawlessness?

(Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law. 15 They show that the requirements(not some of the requirements) of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them.) Rom2:14&15
Its quite plainly written.
Applicable law, under the new covenant is written in the mind and placed on the heart of every believer by God Himself at conversion.
What is in your mind you in your mind must know, the law in your heart MUST bring heartfelt consciousness of sin if you '''wilfully''' transgress it for:
Through the law we become conscious of sin Rom3:20
Hence Paul's words
It isnt an external law anymore written in ink, but one that is written on tablets of human hearts(2Cor3:3)
What was written in applicable law that is now in your mind means you in your mind knows how God wants you to live, and in your heart(your flesh is another matter) you want to live that way.
Its a new covenant now, not the old one
To transition is not acceptable to the flesh. Not easy to believe God in risen Son willingly has reconciled us as Forgiven forever by God first! Especially when one sins and becomes aware to not to. these set out to not sin and end up sinning all the more in the process not to sin, being under Law, Whenever anyone thinks they are obeying, then pride comes along Luke 18:9-14 and Father has no respect of persons, Does not see anyone better than anyone else ever.
The Disciples wrote
We love because God through Son first loved us
So I forgive all being forgiven, reconciled by God first. The same Wirth love to all
It means to worship in the filling of the Spirit (under His influence) according to the word which, is the truth.
It is the only DUI that is legit.

Do you agree with the following? A yes or no would be appreciated:
Sin is the transgression of the law 1John3:4
Through the law we become conscious of sin Rom3:20
Therefore, if observing a set Saturday sabbath is written in the minds and placed on the hearts of believers, NO ONE can be in a saved state unless they have heartfelt consciousness of sin at failing to observe a set Saturday sabbath
Well, it is true that Jesus told the rich young ruler that the one thing he lacked was giving his money to the poor (Matt. 19:16-24).
Yes, but spiritually, not genetically per Rom. 2:28-29, and Israelites also are grafted into Christ per Rom. 11:17-24.
