The Law authorised its own supersession by a new and better Covenant; and included its own sunset clause.
The transition from the Old Covenant to the New Covenant was therefore executed not in breach of the Law but in fulfilment of it.
Israel's persistence in the Law instead of embracing the New Covenant, made the very Law which they purported to keep a witness against them.
The only way to fulfil the Law was therefore not to persist in adhering to the Law, but to instead embrace the New Covenant.
