This is a question that we encounter very often when we read the Old Testament not only among educated people, but also among the uneducated general public. For those of you who have been reading the Old Testament Bible for a long time, do you ever question this? Due to the fact that many people doubt the relevance of the Old Testament Bible, they prefer reading the New Testament to reading the Old Testament. We also find this phenomenon not only among non-Christians, but also among Christians. So, is it true that the Old Testament Bible we have read so far is irrelevant? Let us discuss it together.
The law is still relevant today, from the understanding that is above us as believers also in the new covenant made by God through the fulfillment made in Jesus Christ. The law was fulfilled by Jesus, but that does not mean that the law is no longer relevant for the present. Even though in practice it is related to offering sacrifices and things like that are no longer done because they are all a picture of what is to come (salvation in Jesus Christ), the meaning contained in it continues and remains relevant in every age even up to the second. this.
Jesus Christian himself taught two laws especially in the Law that must be applied in the lives of believers in the new covenant, namely: love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul with all your mind and with all your strength and love your neighbor as human you love yourself.
Thus we can conclude that the Law is still relevant today. Even more so for us Christians who always follow every teaching that the Lord Jesus taught.
