Are Christians Today Required to Keep the Law of Moses?

[dwight92070]

The answer to this is "No". First of all, the Law of Moses was ONLY given to the Jewish nation of Israel, so Gentiles were never commanded to keep the Law, unless they wanted to become a proselyte, i.e. to convert to Judaism.

The Law of Moses, also called the Old Covenant, ended, when Christ brought in the New Covenant, which was in the first century A.D., so really no one has been required to keep the Law of Moses since then - not Jews, not Gentiles, not Christians and not non-Christians.

God gave all those who were or are interested a strong "hint" that He was done with the Law of Moses, when Jesus was crucified, which was about 30 A.D. Right after He died, the Scripture tells us that the curtain in the temple in Jerusalem, between the Holy place and the Holy of Holies - was supernaturally torn in two, from top to bottom. God was indicating that when Christ died, He "opened up the door" into the very presence of God, which is the actual Holy of Holies in heaven, for all who by faith in His shed blood and resurrection, have received His forgiveness of sins and indwelling of the Holy Spirit.

No longer was it necessary to offer temple sacrifices, or to even use the temple at all. Nonetheless, it appears that the Jews who rejected Christ, most likely repaired the curtain, hardly even phased by the miracle of it being torn supernaturally, and went right back to their sacrifices.

Then, forty years later, in 70 A.D., God gave an even stronger hint - He had the Romans totally destroy the temple and the city of Jerusalem. A huge part of keeping the Law of Moses had to do with animal sacrifices and other sacrifices in the temple, so it was impossible to continue obeying that part of the Law of Moses.

Since Christ came, He requires those who wish to follow Him - Christians - to keep His commandments, which Paul called the Law of Christ. There are several laws in the Law of Moses, which were also given in the New Covenant. For example, 9 of the 10 commandments were repeated in the New Covenant - only the 4th commandment, keeping the Sabbath day was not repeated Why? Because it was a ceremonial law, not a moral law. The other 9 law were moral laws, which do not change. The Sabbath Day law is considered a ceremonial law, not a moral law. Moral laws originate from the moral character of God.

The laws in the Law of Christ are to be kept by the power of the Holy Spirit through faith, unlike the Law of Moses, which was often only obeyed by their own will power. However, many Jews realized that if they put their faith in God, even though they did not have the indwelling Holy Spirit, they were still enabled to keep the Law more completely, than without faith in God.

So faith was exercised in both the Old Covenant and now in the New Covenant.

 

[dwight92070]

Of course the idea of faith in God was known to godly Jews even before the Law of Moses was given. Their father, Abraham, was and still is, the father of faith. Romans 4:11-12 He believed God, and God reckoned it (his faith) to him as righteousness. (Genesis 15:6) When the Law of Moses came, godly Jews accepted it, but they did not reject their faith which they already had before the Law came. After Abraham showed God that he was willing to sacrifice his only son, Isaac, God promised Abraham that through his seed, all the families of the earth would be blessed. Genesis 22:18

Paul gave us further understanding of the word "seed" in Genesis. He says that it is singular, not plural, and that the singular "seed" refers directly to Christ. Galatians 3:16 So God is really telling Abraham that through Christ, the Messiah, all the families of the earth would be blessed. This is confirmed in several other places. Mary prophesied about it in Luke 1:55; Paul mentions it again in Romans 4:13 and 16. Peter mentions it in his second sermon in Acts 3:25.

But Abraham and his descendants didn't have to wait until Christ came - to be blessed. If they exercised faith in God, as their father Abraham had done, they too would be counted as righteous, and therefore would enjoy the blessings of Christ - long before Christ was born. God knew that Abraham would be a man of faith in Him, even before Abraham offered up Isaac, so God's original promise to him, when He first spoke to Abraham when he was 75 years old, is found in Genesis 12:1-3:

"Go forth from your country, and from your relatives and from your father's house, to the land which I will show you; and I will make you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great; and so you shall be a blessing; and I will bless those who bless you, and the one who curses you I will curse. And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed."

Many Christians say that this promise was made to the nation Israel, but Israel was not even a nation when God gave Abraham this promise. But we learn from the New Covenant, especially Paul's writings, that the blessing of God in Genesis 12:1-3 was really a blessing on all those who had faith in Him, and when Jesus was born, God expected all men to put their faith in Jesus- whether they were Jews or Gentiles. Remember, even Moses, through whom God's Law came, told the nation of Israel that God would raise up a prophet like him. Deuteronomy 18:15-20 Peter also spoke of this same passage in his second sermon in Acts 3:22-23.

In the Old Testament, those Jews who put their faith in God were called the remnant of Israel. Those Jews who did not have faith in God were not part of the remnant of Israel. Since Israel became a nation, when they came out of Egypt, God's promises have always been for the remnant of Israel - not for those Jews who were unfaithful and disobedient. Even Gentiles, who believed in the God of Israel, could become a part of the remnant of Israel, and share God's blessings with them.

So it is today. Jews who reject Jesus, their Messiah, are not part of the Israel of God, as Paul put it in Galatians 6:16. And Gentiles, who love Jesus and have put their faith in Him - are part of the Israel of God.

Paul said: "For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh. But he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that which is of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter; and his praise is not from men, but from God." Romans 2:28-29

Sadly, many Jews today - are not really Jews at all - because they do not love God and they reject Jesus. On the other hand, many Jews today are also Jews inwardly - they love God and they love Jesus, their Messiah. They are part of the body of Christ, along with believing Gentiles.

 

[jeremiah1five]

The first "Christians" were those Hebrews that looked forward to the coming of Messiah. David would be a Christian because he anticipated the coming of Messiah (translated "Christ.")
Then, after Jesus died, resurrected, and ascended the Holy Spirit of Promise arrived on the day of the Jewish Feast of Harvest and three thousand Jews were born-again thus initiating the beginning of the New Covenant era. Acts 2:47 says, Jesus added to His Church daily such as should be saved."
Imagine hundreds to thousands of Jews everyday becoming born-again. And that's what happened. One passage states that 5,000 Jews came to the Lord, so how can you take the position that the Jews "rejected" their Messiah and King? While there were several hundred thousand of Jews who lived in and around Israel, the majority of Jews lived in Assyria, Babylon, and in Gentile lands throughout Mesopotamia and in places in-between. Besides this, these Jews who lived in Gentile lands knew nothing of Jesus birth, death, or His resurrection. Would God judge these people guilty of rejecting Jesus, would God judge them guilty for the act of several thousand Jews who witnessed the crucifixion and called out for His death? Are millions of ignorant Jews living in Gentile lands guilty even if they never heard of Jesus? No, they are not guilty. The New Covenant states that God will forgive the Jews - all Jews - and remember their sin no more:

34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour (member of a different tribe), and every man his brother (member of the same tribe), saying,
Know the LORD:
For they shall all know me,
From the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD:
For I will forgive their iniquity,
And I will remember their sin no more.
Jeremiah 31:34.

According to the other verses of this prophecy the Jews are not judged guilty of anything at all but are found "Not Guilty!" by God and they have been forgiven and have been atoned by God. According to Scripture the Church Jesus promised to build was populated by Jews. Thousands and thousands of Jews every day were being born-again and their sins- all of them - have been atoned.
Justified.
Case closed.

 

[Titus]

No, if we go back into the old covenant we forfeit our freedom in Christ and become yoked slaves in bondage to the old law, Galatians 5:1

 

[Eternally-Grateful]

if your going to keep the law to make it to heaven

Good luck, You have failed and its too late

if your doing it to learn how to do good.

There is a better way, follow the law of love

 

[jeremiah1five]

No, if we go back into the old covenant we forfeit our freedom in Christ and become yoked slaves in bondage to the old law, Galatians 5:1

That's ONLY if you want to use it as basis for your salvation.

Saul says:

16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
2 Timothy 3:15–17.

The "All Scripture" Saul is writing Timothy about is the Old Testament Hebrew Scripture. When a Jew became born again it brought them to a closer and new meaning to them of their relation to the Law and everything written in the Law, Psalms, and the Prophets.

17 And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.
18 And the day following Paul went in with us unto James; and all the elders were present.
19 And when he had saluted them, he declared particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry.
20 And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe; and they are all zealous of the law: Acts 21:17–20.

Even Saul, whom you call Paul, obeyed the Old Testament and the Law of Moses AFTER he was born-again:

23 Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men which have a vow on them;
24 Them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things, whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest the law. Acts 21:23–24.

You cannot unmoor Biblical Christianity from its Hebrew roots. Without the Law NO ONE can be saved.

NO ONE.

 

[mikesw]

The answer to this is "No".

i.e., the question in the title -- just to keep track of the context

First of all, the Law of Moses was ONLY given to the Jewish nation of Israel, so Gentiles were never commanded to keep the Law, unless they wanted to become a proselyte, i.e. to convert to Judaism.
...

Then, forty years later, in 70 A.D., God gave an even stronger hint - He had the Romans totally destroy the temple and the city of Jerusalem. A huge part of keeping the Law of Moses had to do with animal sacrifices and other sacrifices in the temple, so it was impossible to continue obeying that part of the Law of Moses.

I agree pretty well with what was shared to this point.
For the text that follows, I do not find Jesus incorporating letter of the Mosaic law into the law of love that Christ gives. The effect is of Jeremiah 31:33 that the law is written on one's heart. The points of Exod 20:1-5 are not something Christians are inclined to do since the Spirit in them is God and identifies who God is. We even see with David, that his sins were not taken into account as if to separate him from God ( Rom 4:5-8).

Since Christ came, He requires those who wish to follow Him - Christians - to keep His commandments, which Paul called the Law of Christ. There are several laws in the Law of Moses, which were also given in the New Covenant. For example, 9 of the 10 commandments were repeated in the New Covenant - only the 4th commandment, keeping the Sabbath day was not repeated Why? Because it was a ceremonial law, not a moral law. The other 9 law were moral laws, which do not change. The Sabbath Day law is considered a ceremonial law, not a moral law. Moral laws originate from the moral character of God.

The following is okay as long as we remember Rom 4:5-8

The laws in the Law of Christ are to be kept by the power of the Holy Spirit through faith, unlike the Law of Moses, which was often only obeyed by their own will power. However, many Jews realized that if they put their faith in God, even though they did not have the indwelling Holy Spirit, they were still enabled to keep the Law more completely, than without faith in God.

So faith was exercised in both the Old Covenant and now in the New Covenant.

Indeed it has always been faith toward God that was effective in the OT people.

 

[Wholeheart]

The Ten Commandments are considered a concise summary of God's expectations for human behavior, reflecting His character and will. They remain relevant for us today, summarized by the two greatest commandments: love God and love your neighbor. Christians believe these commandments, given through Moses, are not arbitrary rules but reflect God's character and provide a foundation for ethical living.

They are not considered abolished but fulfilled in Christ, retaining their moral authority for Christians, even though the old covenant rituals are not required.

We are under the New Covenant, which emphasizes faith in Jesus Christ and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, rather than strict adherence to the letter of the law. AI

Jesus in Matt 5:17 can be seen as addressing the view that many Jews would assume post-resurrection. They would recognize and hear that the law was effectively ended or abolished. Jesus, in his fulfillment of the law, effectively points to its end as a (legal) requirement (with separating consequences) upon the people but it also meant that Jesus is the only way to justification with God.

I shared elsewhere that even the Exodus 20:1-5 are essentially sealed in the believer due to the indwelling of God's Spirit in us. But in the end of the era of the law era over the Israel people, it does not mean that we do the opposite of things in the Mosaic law. We still get instruction about what is best and godly.

 

[Wholeheart]

The Law of Moses is being obedient to God: Jesus was the only human to ever be 100% obedient do God His entire life. The Law of Moses is what Jews believed they had to follow in order to be saved: Jesus is what we have to follow in order to be saved.

 

[Titus]

The old Mosaical law is DEAD, DEAD, DEAD to Paul and all born again new testament Christians.
We now serve under the new testament law of Christ.
This includes all of the 10 commandments. Which is the old covenant law.
Jesus restated 9 of the old testament commandments in His new covenant.
That doesn't make the new testament the 9 commandments of Moses'law.
It makes those moral laws general, as Gods morality does not change.

Romans 7:6,
- but now we(Christians) are delivered from the law
- that being  dead wherein we were held that we should serve in newness of spirit and not in the oldness of the letter(10 commandments, law of Moses)

V,7
- what shall we say then is the law sin, God forbid, Nay I had not known sin but by the law,
- for I had not known lust except the law had said,
Thou shalt not covet (10th commandment in the 10 commandments)

Paul teaches Christians are dead to the 10 commandments by quoting the 10th commandment,
Thou shalt not covet.
Proving NO born again Christian is bound to obey the 10 commandments!!!

What then does this mean as far as what Christians, today are bound to keep?
Are we free from morality. Can we practice sin and covet?
Luke 12:15,
- take heed, and beware of covetousness for a mans life consisteth not in abundance of the things which he possesseth

Jesus' new covenant replaced the old covenant.
Christians are under a new law,
Galatians 6:2,
- bear ye one another's burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ

 

[civic]

1 John 5:3
For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome.

 

[Grace ambassador]

Simply summed up:

Christ Living In us, To Fulfil:

All Of His Law, In ONE Word: ►► love ◄◄ thy neighbor​

as thyself!" (Galatians 5:14; Romans 13:8-10 AV)​

"faith which worketh by love!"

Amen.

The NT affirms the 10 commandments

1. The First Commandment​

You shall have no other gods before me. (Ex. 20:3)

The idea that God must have first allegiance in our lives is implied by the greatest commandment: “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind” (Matt. 22:37; see also Jesus’s reply to Satan in Matt. 4:10). This commandment is also affirmed when Paul points out how people sinned when they “worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator” (Rom. 1:25) and when the New Testament writers frequently condemn idolatry (see 1Cor. 5:10–11; 6:9; 10:7, 14; Gal. 5:20; Eph. 5:5; Col. 3:5; 1 Thess. 1:9; 1 John 5:21; Rev. 9:20; 16:2; 20:4; 21:8; 22:15; see also Acts 12:23).

2. The Second Commandment​

You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments. (Ex. 20:4–6)

This command against carved images made as idols was affirmed when Paul was in Athens and “his spirit was provoked within him as he saw that the city was full of idols” (Acts 17:16)—here, not idols of the heart but physical carved images. This command is also affirmed when Paul says that Gentiles “exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things” (Rom. 1:23). In addition, many of the passages cited under point (1) above could fit in this category as well, since in most cases people were worshiping physical objects that represented deities.

3. The Third Commandment​

You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain. (Ex. 20:7)

Paul affirms the evil of dishonoring God’s name when he says of the Jews who do not believe in Christ, “the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you” (Rom. 2:24). Such blasphemy that dishonors the name of God is also identified as a sin in 1 Timothy 1:13, 20; James 2:7; 2 Peter 2:12; Jude 10; Revelation 13:1, 5, 6; 16:9, 11, 21; 17:3; compare the prohibition against “corrupting talk” in Ephesians 4:29.

4. The Fourth Commandment​

Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor, and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male servant, or your female servant, or your livestock, or the sojourner who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy. (Ex. 20:8–11)

The command to rest on the Sabbath day is never repeated as an obligation for Christians after the beginning of the new covenant at the time of Christ’s death.1 However, there is another part to the commandment. This commandment also requires that God’s people work: “Six days shall you labor, and do all your work” (Ex. 20:9). There are New Testament commands that reflect this requirement, such as Ephesians 4:28:

Let the thief no longer steal, but rather let him labor, doing honest work with his own hands, so that he may have something to share with anyone in need.

Similar commands for Christians to engage in productive work are found in 1 Thessalonians 4:11–12 and 2 Thessalonians 3:6–12. (However, there is nothing particularly innovative about a command to work, since God commanded Adam and Eve to “subdue” the earth [Gen. 1:28], and he put Adam in the garden “to work it and keep it” [Gen. 2:15].)

5. The Fifth Commandment​

Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you. (Ex. 20:12)

Paul quotes this commandment explicitly in Ephesians:

Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. “Honor your father and mother” (this is the first commandment with a promise), “that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land.” (Eph. 6:1–3)

Other passages in the New Testament also affirm the validity of a moral requirement to honor one’s father and mother (see Rom. 1:30; 1 Tim. 1:9; 2 Tim. 3:2; see also Jesus’s teaching in Matt. 15:4; 19:18).

6. The Sixth Commandment​

You shall not murder. (Ex. 20:13)

“Murder” is listed many times among catalogs of various sins in the New Testament (see Rom. 1:29; 13:9; 1 Tim. 1:9; James 2:11; 4:2; 1 John 3:12, 15; Rev. 9:21; 16:6; 18:24; 21:8; 22:15; see also Jesus’s teaching in Matt. 5:21–26; 15:19; 19:18).

7. The Seventh Commandment​

You shall not commit adultery. (Ex. 20:14)

Paul quotes “You shall not commit adultery” among the commandments that are
summed up in the love command in Romans 13:9. James also quotes this commandment directly (James 2:11).

But if we understand this commandment to forbid not only adultery in the narrow sense but sexual immorality in a broader sense, then many other passages in the New Testament reflect this moral standard and prohibit immoral sexual conduct (see Rom. 1:26–27; 2:22; 1 Cor. 5:1–5; 6:9, 13–20; 7:2; 10:8; Gal. 5:19; Col. 3:5; 1 Thess. 4:3; 1 Tim. 1:10; Heb. 12:16; 13:4; James 2:11; 2 Pet. 2:14; Jude 7; Rev. 2:20–22; 9:21; 14:8; 17:1–5; 18:3; 19:2; 21:8, 22:15; see also Jesus’s teaching in Matt. 5:27–28; 15:19; 19:9, 18).

8. The Eighth Commandment​

You shall not steal. (Ex. 20:15)

Paul quotes this commandment directly in Romans 13:9, his summary of moral requirements that are fulfilled in the command to love one’s neighbor. He also echoes this command when he says, “Let the thief no longer steal” (Eph. 4:28). But several other verses also prohibit theft of various kinds (see Rom. 2:22; 1 Cor. 5:11; 6:10; Heb. 10:34; Titus 2:10; James 5:4; Rev. 9:21; see also Jesus’s teaching in Matt. 15:19; 19:18).

9. The Ninth Commandment​

You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. (Ex. 20:16)

Although this commandment is not quoted explicitly in the New Testament, if we understand it to be a general prohibition against speaking falsehood, then there are several passages that affirm this moral standard, beginning with the judgment on Ananias and Sapphira for lying to the Holy Spirit in Acts 5:1–11. And Paul says to the Ephesians, “Having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor” (Eph. 4:25). Commands against speaking falsely, especially about other people, are found in Romans 1:30; Ephesians 5:3–4; Colossians 3:8–9; 1 Timothy 1:10; 5:13; James 4:11; 1 John 1:6; 2:4, 21, 27; 2 John 7; Revelation 21:8; 22:15; see also Jesus’s teaching in Matthew 5:37; 15:19; 19:18.

10. The Tenth Commandment​

You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male servant, or his female servant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor’s. (Ex. 20:17)

Paul quotes the command “You shall not covet” as something that is summed up in the commandment, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself” (Rom. 13:9). He also quotes this command in Romans 7:7 as teaching him what it was to covet, thereby awakening more sin and being used by sin to produce in him “all kinds of covetousness” (Rom. 7:8). The sin of coveting is also mentioned elsewhere (see Rom. 1:29; Col. 3:5; 1 Tim. 6:5–10, 17–18; Heb. 13:5; James 4:2; 2 Pet. 2:14; see also Jesus’s teaching in Luke 12:15). Not all of these passages use the word covet, but all contain the idea that it is sinful to have our hearts set on greater riches than God has entrusted to us.

What shall we conclude from these numerous New Testament affirmations of nine out of ten of the moral standards found in the Ten Commandments (plus the work aspect of the Sabbath command)? It would not be correct to conclude that the New Testament authors thought these commandments were binding for Christians because they were part of the Mosaic covenant. That line of thinking would contradict the other passages that so clearly teach that the Mosaic covenant has been terminated and that the new covenant is now in effect (see discussion above).

It is better to conclude that the New Testament authors, guided by the teachings of Jesus and by the further leading of the Holy Spirit after Jesus’s ascension into heaven, understood that God, in his wisdom, placed within the Ten Commandments some broad principles that would not only teach the people of Israel what kind of conduct is pleasing or displeasing to him, but would also be useful for teaching others outside of Israel, and throughout all history, about such conduct. In short, the Ten Commandments radiate God’s wisdom for all of human history.https://www.crossway.org/articles/how-and-where-the-nt-authors-reaffirm-the-ten-commandments

[Bob Carabbio]

Are Christians Today Required to Keep the Law of Moses?​

Are Christians Today Required to Keep the Law of Moses?​

The quick answer is YES!!! But nobody actually will in perfectly consistent fashion.

AS A RESULT all humans, being law breakers are hell-bound UNLESS they have been Born Again by the Holy Spirit. Even then they WILL NOT experimentally perfectly obey the LAW.

The solution to this hopeless condition is that we have an advocate, and do have access to forgiveness and cleansing (1 John 1:9) when we confess our sin.

The LAW is a list of things that we shouldn't do, BUT OCCASIONALLY WE WILL DO ANYWAY, and breaking any part OF THE LAW, Regardless of whether it's a major or minor offence, is breaking the entire law (James 2:10).

 

[Titus]

Nowhere in Jesus' new testament gospel is it taught new testament Christian's are to keep the law of Moses. In fact Jesus' apostles teach the justified in Christ are not to keep the old covenant law.
To do so causes one to be seperated from Christ.

Not one verse in the entire new testament that teaches that Christian's are to keep any of the old law of Moses.

Justification is in the new testament gospel of Jesus Christ.
No one can be justified i.e. made righteous before God by keeping the old law of Moses.

Romans 1:16-17,
- for I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ(new covenant, new law)
- for  it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth to the jew first and also to the greek(gentile)

Both jew and gentile are justified under the new covenant, the gospel of Christ not the old law of Moses.

Romans 1:16-17,
- for therein(new testament gospel of Christ)
- for therein is the righteousness of God, revealed from faith to faith as it is written the  just shall live by  faith(new testament gospel)

Paul teaches the justified are justified by the new testament gospel.
And the just shall live by faith i.e. the new testament law of Christ.

Never does Paul teach the justified are to live by the old law of Moses.
Paul says the just shall live by the new testament gospel of Christ!!!

Acts 13:39,
- and by Him(Jesus not Moses) all that believe(In the new testament gospel of Jesus)are justified from all things from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses

Christians live by faith(Christs new testament law, gospel, Romans 1:16-17.
Christians are never instructed to live by the old law of Moses.

Paul has made this clear multiple times.
Galatians 5:4,
- Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law(old law of Moses)
ye(keepers of the old law of Moses, are fallen from grace

Keeping the old law seperates the justified in Christ from Christ.

Only law Paul teaches new testament Christian's to keep/ obey is Jesus' new testament law that replaced the old.
Galatians 6:2,
- bear ye one another's burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ

Hebrews 7:11-12,
- if therefore  perfection were by the Levitical priesthood(for under it the people received the old law) what further need was there that another priest(Jesus Christ) should rise after the order of Melchisedec and not be called after the order of Aaron
- for the priesthood being changed there is made of necessity a change also of the law


Change of law under the new high priest being Jesus Christ. Old law of Moses now under the new testament law of Christ.

Hebrews 8:13,
- In that He saith a new covenant He(Jesus) hath made the first(old covenant with Moses)
- in that He saith a new covenant He hath made the first obsolete Now that which decayeth and wax old is ready to vanish away

Jesus' new covenant made the old covenant obsolete.

Hebrews 10:9,
- He(Jesus) sets aside the first to establish the second

The old law of Moses was imperfect.
The new law of Christ is perfect.

James 1:25,
- but whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty and continue therein he being not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his works

Christ's new law is perfect.
The law of Moses only brings condemnation slavery and death if one falls back into binding the old law on christians today.

Galatians 5:1,
- Stand fast therefore in the liberty(law of Christ) wherewith Christ hath made us free
- and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage(old law of Moses)

Paul commanded new testament Christians not to go back into binding the old law of Moses on born again christians that have be liberated from the old law.
Because new testament Christians have been by Christ's perfect law set free from the bondage of the old law, that could only make you a slave to sin, no justification.
