As I said there are elements of Law that are typological of the reality we have simply by being in Christ, like the feasts. We actually keep the feasts of Israel in the truest sense, of which those feasts were only a shadow. For example, Jesus is my sabbath! It is not a day but an eternal state.
And any curse that was issued by Law was fulfilled in Christ and taken for us, so we need not obey certain laws to not be cursed, but to remain in Christ. For example, tithing was meant to keep a person from a curse. But the cross caused Christ to become a curse for us. That means we cannot replace the cross with tithing. Pay tithes to be blessed. But not to avoid a curse.
