If you have the truth and you have Christ who IS the truth then you have better than The Law - you have the eternal Son of God who was with God in the beginning and who embodies the Law and much more than that because He created Moses and Israel for whom the Law was made and He IS the word of God having heard from before creation began every word God has said as a Son hearing His Father. To see Jesus is to see all of the Law perfectly kept during a perfect lifetime on earth and much more besides. The Law comes with death because it has to be kept perfectly if it is to be kept at all as a way - so for those going that way it speaks only of failure and death sincs we got it wrong the moment we started. Jesus shows those who look to Him a promise of actual righteousness to be ours plus a promise of eternal life because there in Him we see that He lives having died and we see a happy willingness to give that same eternal life to us who believe in Him along with that righteousness He has. This is real hope. The Law does not give this hope. The obedience we can have this Way is obedience to what Jesus actually is - truth - not obedience to endless commands (humans have always shown a very poor track record in even keeping a few commands in the form of Law). The obedience to the truth that is Jesus is a different kind of obedience - obedience we are pulled into by this truth that He is as He is made known to us by good preaching and by the power of the Spirit who reveals Him to us.
