How Should New Testament Christians Apply Old Testament Law?

The Old Testament is not our testament “Unless an Old Testament law is somehow restated

or reinforced in the New Testament, it is no longer directly binding on God’s people.” (Fee/Stuart, pp. 151-52)

All of the Old Testament is still the Word of God for us even if not still the command of God to us

Lord your God…so that you may enter into the sworn covenant of the Lord your God, which the Lord your God is making with you today, that he may establish you today as his people, and that he may be your God, as he promised you, and as he sworeto your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.”
