In "Applying the Old Testament Law Today" [Bib-Sac, March 2001], J. Daniel Hayes makes comments that are worth thinking about:
"The Law is tied to the Mosaic Covenant, which is integrally connected to Israel's life in the land and the conditional promises of blessing related to their living obediently in the land. Christians are not related to that land, nor are they related to the conditions for being blessed in the land. Also the Mosaic Covenant is obsolete, having been replaced by the New Covenant. Therefore the Mosaic Law, a critical component of the Old Covenant, is vot valid as law over believers in the church age."
