Not at all. Jesus death fulfilled the requirement of a 'blood sacrifice' for the sins of all mankind - He is mankind's 'at-one-ment' or atonement to the Father - He has made us 'right' to God the Father as our propritiation.
In Matthew 5:17, Jesus said:
Matthew 5:17New Life Version (NLV)
Jesus Teaches about the Law17 "Do not think that I have come to do away with the Law of Moses or the writings of the early preachers. I have not come to do away with them but to complete them.
Actually, Jesus 'enlarged' the spritiual meaning of the Law of God that was being forgotten by many due to the inordinate 'letter' of the Law the Scribes and Pharisees were placing upon the people.
In the verse above, the term 'complete/fulfill' comes from the Greek word 'pleroo.' Thayer's Greek to English Lexicon of the New Testament, 2005, Strong's number 4137 adds 'to render perfect; to carry through to the end.'
The Law was followed perfectly by Jesus and after His death by His Apostles and disciples as best they could with the help of God's Holy Spirit. It wasn't until the 4th Century A.D. that the Roman Emperor's changed much of God's Law - in particular the Sabbath Day and the Annual Holy Days.
The only 'administrative' changes to the Old Testament Laws was the ceasing of the Laws of Sacrifice as Christ is mankind's ultimate sacrifice, and the Levitical Priesthood as Christ is now our living, eternal High Priest, our only mediator between God and mankind. All other Laws/Commandments are still in effect and we will be judged by them.
ANOTHER VIEW: In Colossians 2:16-17 Paul tells the Colossians, "So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths, which are a shadow to come, but the substance is of Christ."
Paul was warning the Colossians against trading their freedom in Christ for a set of useless, man-made laws, legalistic rules. Legalism is powerless to save or to restrain sin.
Rome may have sent out dictations, but from Paul's time he was preaching that Christians do not follow these things since Christ the reality had come and died on the cross and they had no more value.
This of coarse was mostly a Gentile church and had never followed the Law of Moses.
What else can I help you with?
Why are commands important?
The Ten Commandments are important because they are the laws God handed down to Moses on Mt. Sinai. The Old Testament had over 600 laws, but after the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Ten Commandments in the New Testament were the new laws for us to live by.
What does it mean that Jesus fulfilled the law?

How the bible is set up?
First and more noticeable is that there are two books to the bible, the Old and the New Testaments. The one tells of the creation and the story up till the birth of Christ. The other tells of Christs dealing with his fellow men. The Old Testament lived by the Law of Moses and of Abraham, while the New Testament lived by the Higher Law, Christ himself being that law. Second the compilers of the testaments only had events which would, in their wisdom, fit into a certain place so that all would run as smoothly as possible. Though Revelation is the last book it does not mean that it was the last to be written. Its content warranted it being placed there.
What did Jesus say about the Old Testament laws?

How does the New Testament of the Christian Bible differ from the Old Testament?
The New Testament was written in Greek, by Jesus' followers. The God depicted emphasizes love. Specific rules/laws are not emphasized. Most of the New Testament is narratives and letters, with one book of prophecy.The Old Testament was written in Aramaic. The writings cover a much longer period of time and the style and content of the books vary greatly. There are books of narrative, books of laws, poetry, proverbs, a love song, prophecy, history. God is often described as angry but also shows a loving side. We see a warlike people. There is nothing about Jesus in the Old Testament.====In the Old Testament, God showed anger when people disobeyed Him or worshipped idols. But God was also pleased when people obeyed Him and they were rewarded. Jesus was mentioned here onlyin prophesy.In the New Testament, there is more emphasis on love. The commandments are still emphasized but in a new way, a different way.New Testament talks about forgiveness which is about obedience or a lack of obedience, again the main theme in the New Testamentis love.The Old Testament is before Christ. The New Testament is the birth and death of Christ and the works of the Apostles.*Each one has more than metioned above but this is the basis.
