Amazing verse, Luke 16:16!
That same phrase, the law and the prophets, is what Jesus says not a single letter will pass away from.
But here he says the law and the prophets were up until John.
I've talked in the past about reading the law for wisdom. But perhaps a more cautious approach is in order. maybe something like studying all of God's word as part of the process of gaining wisdom.

Thinking it through;
It is a metaphor.
Metaphorical "Life" being Spiritual Life/Eternal Life.
It prescribes the attachment of life to Gods Words, words that are written, every word.
It would not be a stretch at all to paraphrase His words to say
Mat 4:4 KJV But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
A man can receive life "through" every written word of God.
I am led to see it like that. So, while Grace through faith is how we are redeemed, Life proceeds through the New Creations love and desire to know and keep His Written words.

When you say that Articles of clothing will be the furthest thing from your mind, I understand you to be saying that this commandment
Deuteronomy 22: 11. You shall not wear a mixed stuff, wool and linen together.
Is part of the ceremonial law, or the civil law, not the moral law. And that commandment wouldn't need to be followed today.
Am I understanding you correctly about that?

So do we keep all his words?
You have been shown passages like Sabbath keeping, What to do when a man rapes a woman, and types of clothing. They are words which proceded from the mouth of God. So are we to follow those words to?
And I am still waiting?
Here let me help.
The law says thou shalt not commit adultry
Can you explain in that command.....
1. Where it tells us HOW to obey the command?
2. Where it tells us all possible ways in which we can break this command?
3. What we should do instead?
Where in this command does it tell us how to do these things?

I must be careful to clarify that it is not what "I say" But what He says:
Please have a look at the context from which Jesus cited that passage;
Deu 8:1-11 NASB "All the commandments that I am commanding you today you shall be careful to do, that you may live and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD swore to give to your forefathers. (2) "You shall remember all the way which the LORD your God has led you in the wilderness these forty years, that He might humble you, testing you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not. (3) "He humbled you and let you be hungry, and fed you with manna which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, that He might make you understand that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of the LORD. (4) "Your clothing did not wear out on you, nor did your foot swell these forty years. (5) "Thus you are to know in your heart that the LORD your God was disciplining you just as a man disciplines his son. (6) "Therefore, you shall keep the commandments of the LORD your God, to walk in His ways and to fear Him. (7) "For the LORD your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, flowing forth in valleys and hills; (8) a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive oil and honey; (9) a land where you will eat food without scarcity, in which you will not lack anything; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills you can dig copper. (10) "When you have eaten and are satisfied, you shall bless the LORD your God for the good land which He has given you. (11) "Beware that you do not forget the LORD your God by not keeping His commandments and His ordinances and His statutes which I am commanding you today;
