In Matt 5-7,
Jesus repeats over & over concerning Moses' law,
"Ye have heard that it was said" which he follows with,
"But I say unto you" & making what the law required even
more impossible for man to keep without fault. Why?
We failed to keep the easier version, so why would he
demand an even more difficult one? Because, He kept
it for us just as He described, thus fulfilling it without
spot or blemish; and now He is our righteousness. Either
we keep it as He said, which is IMPOSSIBLE, or we become
submissive to His righteousness: Romans 10:3, "For
they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going
about to establish THEIR OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS, have
not submitted themselves unto the rightousness of God".

Christ is the end of the law for righteousness, meaning we no longer have to sacrifice animals to obtain forgiveness from sin. This scripture is often misquoted. Jesus did not do away with the law, His life in fact, fulfilled it. He summed up the law by saying, He wouldn't get rid of the law but would give us a new one; love God with your whole heart, soul and mind, love your neighbor as yourself, and love your enemy. He was saying that if we do these three things, everything else will take care of itself.

Some laws are universal moral laws. This includes do not steal, do not kill, and others. There is no disagreement that these
Some laws are cultural universals - laws geared to Israel's culture that have a universal moral law behind them. As an example, the prohibition on trimming your beard [Lev. 19:27] relates to pagan practices that cut facial hair for magical purposes. So the universal behind this cultural would be, don't do the occult.
Some are ceremonial laws. Instructions for building the Ark of the Covenant, for example, are definitely in this, as are sacrificial laws. Most likely the dietary laws belong here, as their purpose was to make the Jews "different" and to serve as a testimony to their difference in the most intimate ancient setting, that of meal fellowship.
Rom. 6:15-16
What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
A believer in Jesus will indeed follow the dictates of the law -- the universal morals, of course, not the cultural particulars -- because of obedience to Christ.

He came to full fill the law not destroy it. He clarified them though by stating the commandments are love thy God with all your heart, love thy neighbor and love thy enemy. The day to day Jewish rituals are what he ended. They were not parts of the commandments. For example, we can't sacrifice a lamb at the temple so there is no way to fullfill this old testament law anymore. He also healed on the Sabbath so we know he did not keep this law. we have 3 commandments now and they cover the other commandments.

The verses below are what you are looking for. Jesus states that He did not come to destroy the law but to fulfill it. He fulfilled it with His life and death. Thus we are no longer under the law.
Matthew 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Mat 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
