God has shown us grace and sent His Son Jesus to suffer and die for our sins. As such, He has taken away the requirements of the Law. This subject is so important that I chose to make a page specific to it.
Another look at the will of God, rebellion, lawlessness, and faith
Are believers in Christ to follow the Law from the Old Testament?
Are Christians under the New Covenant or not?
Christians following Jewish Traditions
Does 2 Corinthians 6:17 teaches to not touch unclean food as defined by the Mosaic (dietary) laws?
Does Matthew 23:23 teach we are supposed to follow the Mosaic Law?
Does Matthew 24:20 teach that we must celebrate the Sabbath?
Does Isaiah 56:6-7 say we must follow the Law?
Does Isaiah 66:17, 22, 23 show we must follow the Law in the end times?
Does Zechariah 14:16-19 show God wants us to follow the festival laws?
Does saved by grace mean we dont have to be holy?
Either Hebrews does not apply to Jewish believers or the Law was set aside for ALL believers.
Galatians 5:18 - If you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law.
How do the Law, faith, and wrath relate?
Has the Mosaic Law been abolished?
Should Christians keep the Jewish Dietary Laws?
Should Believers in Christ to be circumcised?
Significance of The Mosaic Law
Study of Galatians - Grace, Law, and Salvation
Was the Law originally intended as a means of Salvation?
What did Paul mean when he said enslaved to sin?
What do abolish and fulfill mean in Matthew 5:13-20?
What is meant by Grace in relation to God?
What is meant by “keeping God’s commands is what counts” in 1 Corinthians 7?

Let me state that I see nothing wrong with Jews who convert to Christianity hold to their traditions, to a point, and that point is Grace; likewise, I see nothing wrong with Christians discovering the Jewishness of the Gospels, and the cultural context of Paul. There is a point, however, when this exploration turns to false doctrine and a false view of the interaction of the First Covenant and New Covenant.

Interesting discussion on the need for believers in Christ to follow the Law:
