The Bible is a book of covenants the two major covenant are the old and the new covenant. But sadly Christians don't understand the dividing line between this two am going to make a quick review in few words for easy understanding I hope u are blessed. The books of the old covenant  are made up of the laws and the prophets. The prophets reference the law as a guide . But the big picture is this all the old covenant was doing was pointing toward the new covenant in the person of Jesus The new covenant.

John  5:46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me.
Galatians 3:24   Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
  Galatians 3:25   But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.

The old covenant was not given to Christians, it was not given to the world it's specifically for the Jewish people of Isreal.

Exodus  19:3 And Moses went up unto God, and the LORD called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel;  19:5 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:  19:6 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.

 But the new covenant is for both the Jews and the gentiles the world in general.
Christ is the end of the old thereby established a better covenant.
The old could make no man righteous before God but the new makes us His righteousness.
The old is abolished the new abides for ever.
The old require animal sacrifice while Jesus is the everlasting payment for sin for the whole world  lastly but still so much to say.

Hebrews  10:1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.  10:4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.  10:10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.  10:14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.  10:16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;  10:17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.

 You can't mix the two together  no it never works and never will work. For you cannot put new wine in an old wine skin or bottle. For the old is the fading glory but we are his ever shining glory for ever never fading . For the law was given by Moses but grace and truth came through Jesus . The old is the law the new is  grace. Don't try to resurrect what God has buried. Open your heart to learn and unlearn this is the only way we can really see what God is working within us. All it takes is faith in the finished work of Christ on the cross. We look and behold him and we are transformed in all areas of our lives. Keep winning. Jesus is our all in all.
