The Law of Christ is simple, Love God and Love your Neighbor as yourself. It is freedom from having to perform rituals and "doing things" to try and please God. He is already pleased with those who follow. The relationship is akin to the concept behind the movie "Pay it Forward". We owe Jesus nothing for salvation, yet we are happy and want to share, so we are to show our gratitude to those around us. Thanks for asking.

God said love one another.That covers all laws. For love covers a multitude of sins.
Jesus is love and he decrees us to love and forgive as he loves us and forgives us. So the Father does also in us and through us.

The relationship of Christ to his Holy law is the work of the Holy spirit he puts inside of his chosen people. John 17.
The Messiah is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
THE WAY:
Deu 8:2 And thou shalt remember all *the way* which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no.
Deu 11:28 And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside out of *the way* which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known.
Psa 119:1 How blessed are those whose *way* is blameless, Who walk in the law of the LORD.
Psa 119:32 I shall run *the way* of Thy commandments, For Thou wilt enlarge my heart.
THE TRUTH:
Psa 119:142 Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is *the truth*.
Psa 119:151 Thou art near, O LORD, And all Thy commandments are *truth*
THE LIFE:
Deu 30:15 "See, I have set before you today *life* and prosperity, and death and adversity;
Deu 30:16 in that I command you today to love the LORD your God, to walk in His ways and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His judgments, that you may live and multiply, and that the LORD your God may bless you in the land where you are entering to possess it.
Deu 30:19 "I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you *life* and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants,
Deu 30:20 by loving the LORD your God, by obeying His voice, and by holding fast to Him; for this is your *life* and the length of your days, that you may live in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them."
Prov 6:23 For the commandment is a lamp, and the teaching is light; And reproofs for discipline are *the way of life*,
Messiah is the Living Word, the Living Torah of God and dwelt among us.
John 1:14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.

When Jesus said that no man had seen the Father you might ask who was revealed to Moses on Mt Sinai. It had to be Jesus. So it was Jesus who wrote down the law for Moses. Jesus said the law could be summed up in the phrase, Love God with all your heart (the first four commandments) and your neighbor as yourself (the last six commandments). All the Law and the Prophets are summed up in this.
