How do we know that believers are not under the Ten Commandments?

Answered in 1 source

Believers are not under the Ten Commandments because the Old Covenant, including its laws, was fulfilled and abolished by Christ.

The assertion that believers are not under the Ten Commandments draws from the conclusion that the Old Covenant has been abolished through the fulfillment brought about by Christ. Scriptures such as Hebrews 8:13 clarify that believers have transitioned from the old system, which included the Ten Commandments, to a new covenant characterized by Christ’s mediatorship. The New Covenant is defined by the precepts given in the New Testament, which uphold the essence of the law through love, thereby directing believers in their conduct without reinstating the burdens of the Old Covenant.
