I am aware that Grace is in the Old Testament. All men were justified by faith in the Messiah. Yes, the OT saint did not know the name of Jesus, but they were justified by faith in the Messiah or the Lord. The OT saint also had the indwelling of the Spirit, too. The OT saint also was regenerated spiritually, as well. That is the key to all this here. Regeneration. Not in the physical might of your arm or flesh. God is salvation. Salvation is not you and what you do. God has always changed his saints spiritually thru out all time so as to obey His Laws (See Ezekiel 36:26-27).
So I do not have a problem with God's Laws. They are always good. You can even obey the Saturday Sabbath. But it is no longer binding within the New Covenant or New Testament, though; And I am not against God's Commands. There are plenty of Commands for us to obey in the New Testament. There are 1,050 + Commands in the New Testament alone. But we are not justified by the Law. Meaning we are not saved in keeping OT Law. For do you keep everything prescribed in OT Law? For James says if you break one Law, you have broken them all. So if this is the case, then what can one do? The answer is Jesus Christ. For the Law was only a school master that brings us unto Christ.

why would Messiah say this?
Mattithyah 5:18, "For truly I say to you; Unless heaven and earth passes away, one yodh--the smallest of the letters--will in no way pass from the Law, until all things are perfected."
Luke 16:17, "But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one yodh of the Law to fail."
and Paul; backed it up:
Mattithyah 22:37-40, "Yahshua said to him: You must love Yahweh your Father with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets."
Romans 13:9-10, "For the commandments: You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not bring false testimony, You shall not covet, and all other commandments are summed up in these Laws; namely: You must love your neighbor as yourself. Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law."
Mattithyah 5:19, "Whosoever, therefore, will break one of the least of these Laws, and will teach men so, he will be called the least in the Kingdom of Yahweh; but whosoever will do and teach them, the same will be called great in the Kingdom of Yahweh."
and what does this mean?
Daniyl 7:25, "And he will speak great words against Yahweh, and will wear out; mentally attack to cause to fall away, the saints of Yahweh, and think to change times and Laws..."
