no you are way off the Old Testament came through angels To men the teachings are of Judaism Christ doesn’t belong in the same group it’s something entirely new that was purposely kept hidden until he was born and began giving revelation
“All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them: That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.”
Matthew 13:34-35
those teachings of Christ are the answer to you’re question about freedom from sin
“Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.”
John 8:31-32, 34, 36
it’s why he was sent to earth
“Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.”
John 18:37
and his word is actually what the ot promised all along the knowledge and teachings of God
this should make you consider
“It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.”
John 6:45
It’s what Moses and all the following prophets said would come a new and better word delivered by the one God would send to speak his words ( Deuteronomy 18:15-19)
“For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.
Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days.
Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.
Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.”
Acts 3:22-26
his teachings are what turn us from iniquity and frees us from the power sin has over us in our heart it cites this to believe Jesus teachings
This is where sins bonds are upon us
“For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.”
Mark 7:21-23
so his teachings aren’t “ don’t commit adultery “ again like Moses Jesus is teaching the way out of sins grasp
“Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.”
Matthew 5:27-29
Jesus teaching is aimed at the thiughts and intents of the believers heart because that’s where sins grasp has its desth grip on man it’s always been within our heart and mind since we fell
“And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth,
and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.”
Genesis 6:5-6 KJV
Thier wickedness came because thier hearts were wicked thier thiughts and desires so their actions followed . Christ is about teaching us to have a heart of Gods children refined by his word and wisdom to clean away the lustful thoughts we harbor and cleanse away thy stains we caused beforehand
his word is about the spirit and imparts the spirit like that teaching of ridding the heart of lust of we let his word correct how we think we’re going to be okay
