Obedience to the moral law remains binding but is not a means of salvation. The gospel is foreshadowed throughout the Old Testament. The system of sacrifices was important and was from God, but could not take away sins. The writer of Hebrews says God was not pleased with the sacrifices but prepared a body. This was radical and controversial to the Jews. The old system was becoming obsolete. Jesus' offering was once and for all. Sins are no longer remembered. Jesus' words, "It is finished" meant the whole system was over.
