The end of the law

(τελος νομου). Christ put a stop to the law as a means of salvation (Romanos 6:14; Romanos 9:31; Efesios 2:15; Colosenses 2:14) as in Lucas 16:16.

Christ is the goal or aim of the law (Gálatas 3:24). Christ is the fulfilment of the law (Mateo 5:17; Romanos 13:10; 1 Timoteo 1:5).

But here (Denney) Paul's main idea is that Christ ended the law as a method of salvation for "every one that believeth" whether Jew or Gentile. Christ wrote finis on law as a means of grace.
