ONE:/ abnegation of the law
A./ Several things were nailed to the cross of Jesus Christ on the day that He suffered and died for us and our Salvation.......
1./ our old man = our old sin nature
2./ sin
3./ iniquity
4./ the body of this flesh [in which sin resides] NOTE: and, had it not been so, the sin which resides within this body of the flesh would not have been abnegated and enfeoffed.
then,
5./ the law
Colossians 2:13-15;
13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
a./ This being and amounting to how Jesus took this [ the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us ] "out of the way" !
b./ In this figure is seen the method and the means whereby also, sin and the body of the flesh were likewise purged of sin [in all the ultimate senses]. So that,
c./ We observe several things that were nailed to the cross of Jesus Christ on the day that He suffered and died for us and our Salvation....... way" !

Thus,
B./ We observe how that these figures [while being figures] have very real, significant and powerful, realistic effects and/or spiritual realities accompanying them; which spiritual realities reach through to and effect the natural realities common to mankind !
1./ In this case entire dispensations are effected !
a./ The entire dispensation of the law closes and comes to it's end in and with Jesus Christ !
b./ Bringing in the dispensation of God's grace ! Under and in which, the law, has no power over God's people i.e. as it does and did in the Old Testiment !
2./ Now, compare this with the first figures of Romans 6:6; and Col. 2:11-12; in which the old man/old sin nature + it's body are utterly purged by the supernatural powers of and Almighty Godhead in the figures of Jesus Christ and the cross ! Such that,
a./ Just as these were "changed" so also was the dispensation.
