The Law of Yahweh
Moses gave the Book of the Law of the LORD to the Israelites so that they fear the LORD, walk in His ways, keep His commandments and statutes, and love Him and serve Him with all their heart and soul.
Deuteronomy 10
12
And now, O Israel, what does the LORD your God ask of you but to fear the LORD your God by walking in all His ways, to love Him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul,
13
and to keep the commandments and statutes of the LORD that I am giving you this day for your own good?
Deuteronomy 8
1
You must carefully follow every commandment I am giving you today, so that you may live and multiply, and enter and possess the land that the LORD swore to give your fathers.

These verses from the Scriptures have made known that Jesus the Messiah and His apostles upheld and followed the Book of the Law of the LORD:
Matthew 5
17
Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I have not come to abolish them, but to fulfill them.
18
For I tell you truly, until heaven and earth pass away, not a single jot, not a stroke of a pen, will disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.
Matthew 7
12
So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets
Jesus about the greatest commandment in the law
Matthew 22:36–40, Mark 12:28–34
37
Jesus declared, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’—Exodus 3:6
38
This is the first and greatest commandment.
39
And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’—Leviticus 19:18
40
All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
Jesus the Messiah healed a man with leprosy and asked him to offer the sacrifices that Moses commanded for his cleansing.
Matthew 8:1–4
Mark 1:40–45
Luke 5:12–16
Peter had been entrusted with the task of preaching the gospel to the Jews, and Paul to the Gentiles
Galatians 2:8
For the One who was at work in Peter’s apostleship to the circumcised was also at work in my apostleship to the Gentiles.
Galatians 5
14
For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: "Love your neighbor as yourself."
Leviticus 19
18
Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against any of your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD.
Acts 14
1
In Iconium they entered the synagogue of the Jews together, and spoke in such a manner that a large number of people believed, both of Jews and of Greeks.
Acts 17
10
On arriving there, they went into the Jewish synagogue.
11
Now the Bereans were more noble-minded than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if these teachings were true.
12
As a result, many of them believed, along with quite a few prominent Greek women and men.
Acts 21
20
When they heard this, they glorified God. Then they said to Paul, “You see, brother, how many thousands of Jews have believed, and all of them are zealous for the law.
21
But they are under the impression that you teach all the Jews who live among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children or observe our customs.
24
Take these men, purify yourself along with them, and pay their expenses so they can have their heads shaved. Then everyone will know that there is no truth to these rumors about you, but that you also live in obedience to the law.
Acts 24
14
I do confess to you, however, that I worship the God of our fathers according to the Way, which they call a sect. I believe everything that is laid down by the Law and written in the Prophets,
Acts 26
22
But God has helped me to this very day; so I stand here and testify to small and great alike. I am saying nothing beyond what the prophets and Moses said would happen—
23
that the Messiah would suffer and, as the first to rise from the dead, would bring the message of light to his own people and to the Gentiles.”
It is imperative to note that Yahweh shall make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah because the Israelites broke the first covenant; the law given to the Israelites was faultless.
Hebrews 8
7
For if that first covenant had been without fault, no place would have been sought for a second.
8
But God found fault with the people
Jeremiah 31
31
Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD,
when I will make a new covenant
with the house of Israel
and with the house of Judah.
32
It will not be like the covenant I made with their fathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt—a covenant they broke, though I was a husband to them,” declares the LORD.
33
“But this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel
after those days, declares the LORD.
I will put My law in their minds
and inscribe it on their hearts.
And I will be their God,
and they will be My people.
Hebrews 9
28
so also the Messiah, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for Him.
Isaiah 2
2
In the last days the mountain of the house of the LORD will be established as the chief of the mountains; it will be raised above the hills, and all nations will stream to it. 3
And many peoples will come and say: “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us His ways so that we may walk in His paths.” For the law will go forth from Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
