(DLG note...
Christians are not expected or obligated to keep the Mosaic Laws of sacrifice, diet, ceremony, or the Civil Laws of Israel or the Sabbath Law, since it was a sign and a covenant between God and Israel.
Neither are Christians expected to keep God's laws that are specific to certain periods of history, other than the Church age, aka, the gospel age, gospel dispensation, the age of grace or dispensation of grace.
However, God still expects His people to keep His moral law. His moral law was not rescinded or abrogated, but is still the rule of God in moral society. It is not the keeping of the moral law that saves anyone, but those who do not keep the moral law of God are not saved. The breaking of the moral law is sin, and Jesus came to save His people from their sins. We do not keep the law of God by the power of our will alone. God enables the willing saint to obey.)
