Luke 16:16-17 (NASB)
16 “The Law and the Prophets were proclaimed until John; since that time the gospel of the kingdom of God has been preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it. 17 But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one stroke of a letter of the Law to fail.
The law will not fail because Jesus fulfilled the Law, which is the word of God. The Law is bad news in that it reveals the condition of man, thus condemning him from the life of God.
The gospel is the good news in that it reveals the salvation of man, which is the word of God. Those who believe and receive the gospel of Christ are able to fulfill the Law because they are in Jesus. By this they are transferred into the kingdom of heaven, set free from the kingdom of the earth.
