In the love of Charity we are one body and spirit with Christ, and through this love, the progressive, benevolent and edifying love, we perceive the world with the mind of God, explains the apostle Paul: "So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!" 2 Corinthians 5:16-17.
The law of Moses (the ten commandments) is a set of imperatives that allows us to know sin, but it doesn't give to us the grace, the charism, to live in spiritual or ethical terms:
"I would not have known what sin was had it not been for the law. For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, ´Your shall not covet.´ But sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, produced in me every kind of coveting" Romans 7:7-8.

That is why Jesus comes to reconcile us with God in the new spiritual life, Jesus is the new Adam, because he who sins puts a wall against his creator, the spirit of God flees from error and falsehood because they are imperfections: "All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation." 2 Corinthians 5:18-19.
We can only enter the Kingdom of God when faith is accompanied by righteousness and mercy, this is the requirement of the Christian life: "We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God. God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God." 2 Corinthians 5:20-21.
