Christ fulfilled the law, something that no one else could do. As for your question “does that mean I am now free to kill or steal with no consequence as to my salvation or relation to the Creator of those laws?” The Spirit Himself teaches us to love one another. If you are a believer, why would you want to kill your neighbor or steal from him/her? Do you really need a law to keep you from doing that?
Yes, I agree with you. The Spirit teaches us... And if the Spirit teaches us, then why, indeed, would we want to kill our neighbor? Try this. Let's change the word "law" to "principle". The Spirit teaches us the Creator's "principles" regarding His government. Now, the statement about not needing a "law" is in a different light. As an illustration -- So, if the Spirit teaches us a "principle" about how to live, why would we need the underlying "principle"? It doesn't make sense that God would teach and convert us to be in harmony with a "principle" of His government if there was no underlying "principle" (i.e. "law").
