God always gives His commands (laws) to people in the context of different covenants. If you get this, you’ll be ready to apply any of His laws in the Bible to your life in the right way, and not in some freakish, base way.

Why was the Gospel vested exclusively in Israel for a time and then preached throughout the world to every nation? The answer has to do with the Mosaic Covenant and how Jesus fulfills it.

One must understand what the Mosaic Covenant is in order rightly to interpret the Old Testament and the New Testament as well as to understand salvation. The Mosaic Covenant, a covenant of works, was established in order to demonstrate the need for Christ who would work to obey the Law in your place for salvation.
