Hebrews 10:1
The Bible says that the law is good - if it is used correctly. The things in the Old Testament are either pictures of Christ, or they are foreshadowing what He was to fulfill. After the crucifixion, two of His followers were walking from Jerusalem to Emaus, sad because the one they thought would redeem them had been killed.
Jesus joined them on the long walk, but they didn't recognize Him. Jesus said, ''Oh you who are slow of heart to believe what was written by the prophets.'' He explained how the Old Testament scriptures showed why it was necessary for Christ to die. The Bible then says Jesus took them from the books of Moses (the first five books of the Old Testament), and throughout all the books of the prophets, explaining how the scriptures were speaking about things concerning Himself. Before the cross, everything written ultimately directs us to the coming work of Christ. In other words, the Old Testament points ahead to the cross.
Now that we are on the backside of the cross, we can look through the lens of the cross and see Jesus on each page of the Old Testament.
This is what it means to use the law correctly. All the things in the Old Covenant (or Old Testament Law), were shadows, or representations, of the true work that would be revealed in Christ. Let's see this in the Bible. Look first at Hebrews 8:4-5
4 For if He [Christ] were on earth, He would not be a priest, since there are priests who offer the gifts according to the law;
5 who serve the copy and shadow of the heavenly things...

13 In that He says, ''A new covenant,'' He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.
Hebrews 10:1
For the law, having a shadow of the good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with these s ...
