Question was asked: “How can one claim to be a Christian if they don’t obey the Law? Their religion is useless.”

If you’ve been redeemed by faith in Jesus (John 3) you have received the indwelling Holy Spirit as Guarantor of that New Covenant relationship with the Father (Ephesians 1:13-14) and it is the indwelling Spirit that employs the redeemed conscience of the faithful (2 Corinthians 5:17) and combines that redeemed conscience with the spiritual law written upon the heart (Romans 2:14-15; Romans 8:2) and the Spirit then produces fruits of righteousness (Galatians 5) through the redeemed believer and this fruit fulfills all law; in fact, there are no laws against the “fruit of the Spirit.” Jesus said “You will know them by their fruit” (Matthew 7:15-20).

If one desires to live a life that is pleasing to the Father, they must first comply with the Father’s will by faith in Jesus as their Messiah (John 6:29) and live by the Spirit, daily, as the Holy Spirit methodically and patiently prepares them for service in the New Jerusalem (Galatians 5:16).

Law is relevant in the New Covenant but that law is not etched in stone or scratched upon parchment but the Christian lives by the “law of the Spirit of life” and NOT “the law of sin and death” (Romans 8:2).
