The Mosaic Law is the product of the Greatest legalistic judiciary inside and outside of the known universe. So indeed that portion of scripture is inspired by God and is beneficial. However, the Law was just a shadow of the good things the come. Besides being a “tutor” for the Jews it exposed the Jews as sinners against the “Law Covenant”, thus pointing to and demonstrating the need for a “perfect sacrifice”-the Lamb of God.(John 1:29)
Although the Jewish priests continued to offer sacrifices at the temple in Jerusalem until its destruction in 70 C.E., the sacrifices for sin ceased having acceptance and validity with God. Just before Jesus’ death he said to Jerusalem: “Your house is abandoned to you.” (Mt 23:38) Christ “offered one sacrifice for sins perpetually . . . For it is by one sacrificial offering that he has made those who are being sanctified perfect perpetually.” “Now where there is forgiveness [of sins and lawless deeds], there is no longer an offering for sin.” (Heb 10:12-14, 18) The apostle Paul points out that Jeremiah’s prophecy spoke of a new covenant, the former covenant (Law covenant) being thereby made obsolete and growing old, “near to vanishing away.”—Heb 8:7-13.
