The Law of God has not changed. It is the same today as given to Moses (and Adam for that matter). The Sacrifical laws and the Levitical Priesthood ended though as the Apostle Paul tells us in Hebrews and other letters. Paul also tells us the Law is not ended because we now have faith:
Romans 3:31New International Version (NIV)31 Do we, then, nullify the law by this faith? Not at all! Rather, we uphold the law.
Jesus gave us the spiritual meaning of the letter of the Law - fully expanding the entire Law to its full and intended purpose. As such He gave this one Command:
John 13:34New International Version (NIV)34 "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.
The New Covenant expands and provides for a better relationship with God through His Son, Jesus. The Old Covenant only symbolically provided this relationship. Remember, the gift of the Holy Spirit was not given blanketly as it is now. Only a few Patriarchs and Prophets (and a few others) received it. This is the primary reason some 'new' features - qualitatively enhancing this covenant while some obsolete features were replaced by Jesus Himself - as our perfect sacrifice and Eternal High Priest at God's Throne. In effect, these were administrative amendments to the Eternal Law of God.
