Galatians in a nutshell. We are all one in Christ. Not us but Christ.
We are not to sin or want to through Christ, hence no need for law unless one is still sinning. No need for tutors or the schoolmaster. For we are dead nevertheless we live. Yet not us but Christ lives in us and the life we now live in the flesh we live by the faith OF Christ. For we have put on Christ and live through the spirit. For His Law is in our hearts and minds. His Word in our mouth that we do it. That is the Faith in which we preach. We have been given a new Spirit. Us in Him, He in us that the World might believe. We have been delivered from this present evil age.
God set us free from His Law through Christ. We are no longer in under it because we are not breaking it. We are not sinning through Christ. And if we are sinning then we are still under a tutor, the Schoolmaster, the Law and are only living partly in Christ if at all. We are not to be doing the things that we would. We are not under the Schoolmaster, the Law if we are led by the Spirit through Christ and are not sinning. If we are walking in the Spirit we shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. They that are of Christ have crucified the flesh and the lusts thereof through the fruit of the Spirit to which there is no law.

But in Galatians 5, Apostle Paul gets down to the nitty-gritty.

Paul said that IF... we walk by The Holy Spirit, then we are no longer under the law.

So what happens when we do NOT walk by The Spirit? We place ourselves back under God's law, until we correct our selves through repentance and making a change.

In 1 Timothy 1 and 1 Corinthians 6, and Galatians 5, Apostle Paul brings up the matter of being under God's laws for doing sin.

Thus it is NOT Christian Doctrine per God's Word to infer we who have believed on Jesus Christ as our Savior, can no longer be subject to God's laws, because like Apostle Paul taught in Galatians 5, only IF... we walk by The Spirit, are we not under God's law. And the reason Paul says is, that to walk by The Spirit means doing so there is no law against.
