More accurately, Jesus FULFILLED the Law of Moses (Matthew 5:17+18), and in so doing, "…canceled the 'charge of our legal indebtedness'(the Law of Moses), which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross." ( Colossians 2:14 NIV). Jesus instituted a NEW covenant, which then made the old one 'obsolete' (Hebrews8:13), thus his death, ended the Mosaic Law. Instead of a 'handwritten covenant' of rules and regulations, like the Mosaic Law, his NEW covenant would put God's laws "…into their mind, and write them in their hearts" and in so doing would make the OLD law 'obsolete' (Hebrews 8:10+13). The coming of the Christ (Hebrews 9:16+17), was foretold through the Mosaic Law (Hebrews 10:1-12) and fulfilled in Jesus(2 Corinthians 5:21)(John 15:12/John 13:34+35/1 John 4:21).

This is a most confusing question that many Christian leaders have many different thoughts. The main problem seems to be with the timing or advent of the New Testament.
The Law of God is eternal and will one day in the future - Millennial period - be written upon the hearts and minds of all mankind - particularly the rejoined tribes of Israel and Judah into the complete House of Israel as it began. Until then, God's law is still our guide - a mirror for our lives - helping us follow the correct Way. And the only way we humans can follow God's perfect Law, is to have His Holy Spirit within us to guide and assist us. Remember, God desires to save all mankind and not just a few.
However, God has not made His Spirit generally available until after Jesus was crucified and resurrected so that He could serve as our Mediator of the New Covenant. And now, relatively few have been 'begotten' by God's Holy Spirit. These are referred to as the 'firstfruits' of God - the early harvest if you will.
The New Covenant has been initiated and awaits full implementation. The groundwork of God's Law is well established. Our Mediator sits on the Throne of God. The Old Covenant has been modified - Jesus is our perfect sacrifice and High Priest. But the future full harvest is yet to come beginning with Jesus' 2nd Coming and then the Judgement process.
Paul was inspired to tell us that the Law of God is not done away with:
Romans 3:29-31New King James Version (NKJV)29 Or is He the God of the Jews only? Is He not also the God of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also, 30 since there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith. 31 Do we then make void the law through faith? Certainly not! On the contrary, we establish the law.
The true followers of Christ - His little flock aka the elect - are today's followers of all of God's Laws. One day, each and everyone of us will be called to chose to become members of the God Family as the Scripture clearly states.

Why do Seventh-day Adventists not recognize the Mosaic Law?
In the Bible, it says that when Jesus died, the law died with Him...now most people believe that this was the 10 commandments but in fact it was the law of Moses that died with Jesus.....to explain, Jesus was the ultimate sacrifice. Moses' law was one that had people sacrificing animals to cleanse themselves from sin, but God sent Jesus to die for our sins so we no longer need Moses' law.

What is the christian position on law?
Jesus said that not one jot or one title shall every be taken from the law of Moses. He came NOT to abolish the Law but to fulfill it. It is easier for Heaven and earth to pass away then for the Words of The Lord to pass away. Therefore Jesus said to still follow the Law. Christ nailed sin, not the Law to the cross. Hope that helps. :)
