How do we know that dietary laws are no longer binding for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

The Apostle Paul declares that all distinctions of meat and days have been abolished through Christ in places like Romans 14.

The New Testament clarifies that dietary laws are no longer binding on Christians, primarily through the teachings of the Apostle Paul. In Romans 14, Paul asserts that nothing is unclean of itself, reinforcing that believers should not feel guilty about the consumption of any food as long as it is done with thanksgiving. This liberating message is further supported by Colossians 2:14, where Paul states that the Old Covenant's regulations, which included dietary restrictions, have been removed through Christ's sacrifice. This theological understanding allows believers to enjoy their freedom without the burden of the Law, as our righteousness and acceptance before God depend solely on Christ's obedience and atonement, not on our dietary choices.
