The fact of the matter is....we are NOT under the Mosaic Covenant. We no longer have to observe the Law.
But yes--it certainly IS relevant to us. It's our history, and it tells us WHY we need a savior. Paul wrote in Romans that the Law is a schoolmaster -- pointing out to us that we NEED a savior.

Good points ^ above ^ because we are No longer under the temporary Constitution of the Mosaic Law which was given to only one nation and that was the nation of ancient Israel.
Jesus however thought that Law was relevant because Jesus often prefaced his statements with the words, "it is written"
meaning already written in the old Hebrew Scriptures. Jesus explained the Hebrew writings for us, and the principles still apply such as the Golden Rule.
The Bible is unique in that it has corresponding or parallel reference verses or passages throughout the Scriptures thus showing the internal harmony among its many writers. Truly all inspired by God - 2nd Timothy 3 vs 16,17
Yes, we need a Savior to be freed from sin and death and to be saved [ rescued / delivered ] through the coming ' great tribulation' [ Rev. 7 v 14 ] so we can continue living on earth right into the start of Jesus' coming 1000-year kingdom reign over earth.
