It was never intended that way…

What is important for our study is that we understand that Torah, in the context of the Old Testament, was never intended to provide a way to heaven or a way to pay the penalty for sin fully and finally. It was never intended to do what Jesus accomplished through his death and resurrection. It is therefore not a failed approach; it did precisely what Yahweh intended for it to do. When we talk about Christians not being under law, but under grace, it is a reflection on what Christ has done for us, not a biblical rejection of the Torah as a means of salvation (which it never was intended to be). Non-Jews can neither accept nor reject the Torah because it was never offered to them.—Walton and Walton, The Lost World of the Torah, 155
