As I understand it, Jewish followers of the Jesus movement were meant to keep the law. However, especially after the death of Jesus, there was a lot of interest in getting gentiles on board and they, at least according to some authors (and apparently this was not a unified position?), the gentiles were not bound by the law (or maybe only by the Noahide law).

The law as per scripture is just guidance towards an impossible goal for god’s worshippers and part of his chosen.
Jesus managed to fulfill the spirit of the law. Hence since that moment the law was overridden. It was replaced by a new law since then.
