before he died and rose he said
“Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.”
Matthew 5:17-18 KJV
after he died and rose he interpreted
“And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, and said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
And ye are witnesses of these things.”
Luke 24:44-48 KJV

"to fulfil, i.e. to cause God's will (as made known in the law) to be obeyed as it should be, and God's promises (given through the prophets) to receive fulfilment"
After Jesus said that he came to fulfill the law, he then proceeded to fulfill it six times throughout the rest of the chapter by teaching how to correctly obey it as it should be. Moreover, he did not mention anything about his death in the Sermon on the. Mount. It is by the Mosaic Law that we have knowledge of what sin is (Romans 3:20), so preaching repentance and remission of sins in his name to all nations is calling for the nations to obey the Mosaic Law.
Did it keep anyone alive ? Even Moses it’s mediator died because of his transgression
“who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
“who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
Moreover, in Jeremiah 31:33 and Ezekiel 36:26-27, the New Covenant involves God putting the Mosaic Law in our minds and writing it on our hearts and sending the Spirit to lead us to obey it, so 2 Corinthians 3:6 should be interpreted in a way that is in agreement with these verses rather than a way that is contrary to them. If following the letter referred to correctly following God's instructions and that leads to death, then God should not be trusted to guide us and we should not be His followers.
which vail is done away in Christ. But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.”
