The purpose of the law given in the Old Testament was to guide and teach people about God's standards of righteousness. It was not meant to be discarded but fulfilled by Jesus Christ, who embodied the true essence of the law through his teachings of love, grace, and forgiveness. Christ's arrival did not negate the importance of the law but showed its ultimate fulfillment.
