Christ even warned that in the last days' people would not endure sound doctrine; in Revelation 2:6; 14-16 Jesus has spoken to the Church about the deeds of the Nicolaitans and the doctrine of Nicolaitans. The Nicolaitans taught Christian license in matters concerning the law of God that they were not under certain moral laws. These were the antinomians of the days of the Apostles, teaching that it was OK to indulge in sins and believe and still be saved. We hear in some circles today that as long as you believe in Jesus, we are so under grace, that if we sin, it is not really sin because the law has been delivered from us, "We are not under law but under grace," and therefore, we are under no obligations to the moral law at all. Really this is not a doctrine of grace but as the word declares anti-law or antinomianism. The apostle John said in 1 John 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

The Lord never repealed the moral law just the penalty on those who would believe and come back to its precepts, why else would you need to repent, it's because you broke Gods law.

Now by faith you believe in Jesus Christ and keep his commandments 1 John 5: 1-5. Now you keep His law after you believe because you want to, not because you are afraid of going to hell, even though that might have been the first reason for even considering the gospel. If you only came to Christ for the blessings and never considered what is required of you, you're like the man who built the tower and didn't have enough money to finish it. You may desire the blessings but if you don't count the cost of a life that would turn from sin and rebellion, to a life of submission to Christ and His word, then you're only serving Him from a motive of selfishness, and you don't really have true conversion. The moral law of God serves as our school teacher to bring us to Christ, then it serves as a mirror so we can see what places in our life that need to come under the control of the Holy Spirit. There are two sides to serving Christ of which both are in error. There is the person that serves out of a legal experience and one that serves God under the notion that the law has been totally repealed from him and is under no obligation to it at all.
