The question of the relationship of the believer in Jesus Christ in the current dispensation to the Law of Moses is a controversial issue. However, the New Testament teaching is very clear on the subject. The believer in Jesus Christ is not under the Law of Moses in any way, he is under the Law of Messiah.
The Law of Moses, was only designed to be temporary, a tutor to lead us to Messiah (Gal 3:24). Thus, the Law of Moses has now been replaced by a much higher law, the Law of Messiah. The Law of Moses focuses on the physical, as the the unique ministry of the Holy Spirit was not yet in effect (John 7:39). The Law of Messiah focuses on the spiritual, we offer up spiritual sacrifices (1 Pet 2:5). The physical sacrifices of the Mosaic Law are no longer needed--and the rest of the Law of Moses is also no longer needed.
This is why the temple and it's sacrifical system and priesthood have been discontinued. We are under the Melchizedekian Priesthood of Messiah, the Levitical Priesthood of Moses is done away which means that the entire Law of Moses is also done away:
For when the priesthood is changed, of necessity there takes place a change of law also Heb 7:12
The Law of Moses is over. We are under the Law of Messiah.
