Christians believed that Jesus was part of a new covenant between God and his followers. Jesus said that he did not come to abolish the Law, but to fulfill it (he still was an observant Jew). Christians found new ways to practice the faith that were not traditional Jewish practices, and were critical of some of the ways that the Law was being observed at the time.
