Christians see its complement in the New Testament, which reveals Jesus Christ as the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy.
A relevant aphorism is " The New Testament concealed is the Old Testament concealed"
The Old Testament laws concentrated on deeds, whereas in the 'Sermon on the Mount' Jesus expands this to include intent as well.
Mat 5:17-19 KJV Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. (v.18) For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. (v.19) Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
