Sez who? The resurrection of Christ is celebrated across the board and across the world on Easter Sunday.
True, that the Melchizedek priesthood of Christ does not get the attention it deserves. But the fact that the New Covenant has superseded the Old Covenant does get plenty of notice. So do the other passages (at least on tis forum).
As to your use of the word "Christian sects" you are implying sectarianism. So where do you find this?

We don't seem to see that the resurrection is God lifting the law...
Throughout Pauls writings it is very clear that this is the case, yet rather than admit it Christians would rather reject Paul...
There are something like 40,000 sects of Christianity despite things like Ephesians 4:1-6 warning us against division as such...
It's surprising you take issue with the notion considering the violence that has happened historically between the sects that make it very clear we're not a united tradition at all...
Indeed, it is another proof that Christianity is going wrong...
Rather than be unified by the Spirit we argue over ignorant opinions.

uh.....
Perhaps that 'united tradition' is the problem instead of being filled with the Holy Spirit and following Christ instead of 'traditions'
God promises to keep those who are His until the very end. People (some people) seem to think that what they see with their physical eyes is all there is
nope

Unity of the Spirit is good; we should strive for that. There's one Spirit and one body; so, if we're walking in the Spirt there should be peace and harmony. However, just as much division has been caused by those who profess to follow the Spirit as those who profess to follow the written word.
What's lacking are people with a true spiritual gift of teaching. We should pray for teachers who know what they're talking about. As it is, everyone wants to be their own teacher. Everyone says: "The Spirit told me this, or the Spirit told me that."

Are those professing the Spirit actually causing division or are those without it creating the conflict?
It would be better if Christians could actually feel the Spirit in others, but most just look for those that agree with them already.
2 Corinthians 3:1-18 presents the very obvious issue with making the word your idol... certainly, those with the Spirit should be speaking in a similar voice to the new testament authors because that which moves them is the same, but truth is not found in texts.
The best teachers can bring us to the Spirit but most preachers are more concerned with keeping us coming and tithing so they can pay their bills.

You can add Colossians 3, where in the first verse, Paul says we have been raised (resurrected the new birth) with Christ. Then, he goes on to apply that teaching (historical event) to our lives.
I think that pastors are scared of challenging their people for fear of making them uncomfortable. They want to be liked.

2 Corinthians 3:12-18 specifically mention the writings of Moses...
Hebrews 7:1-28 suggests something about this, Melchizedek was a priest of El while Moses made Yahweh the same...
We see again in places like Galatians 4:19-31 that there is no relation between the slave children and the free ones...
Yet, clinging to all of this will also blind us, we must know the Spirit directly ourselves.
