1689 CONFESSION, ch. 19, "THE LAW OF GOD": 
PARA. 3: THE CEREMONIAL LAW
SUMMARY: (Gerstner) The CEREMONIAL LAWS were added to this moral law for the Old Testament church, prefiguring Jesus Christ. Therefore, they are now appropriately abrogated under the New Testament. If the moral law is a tutor to bring us to Christ, the ceremonial law shows us the Christ to whom the moral law brought us.
