Yes, the Lord Christ kept the law perfectly of which the moral law was necessary in order to qualify as a bona fide substitute for sinners unto justification. AND, in doing so He set the living example of how men are to live before God. To fail to keep that law is sin and thus not an option but of necessity, with or without having been made right with God through Christ. "If you love me, keep my commandments", said Jesus. And it was the Son of God who gave those great 10 Commandments on Mt. Sinai (Heb 12:18-29) and thus they are perpetually required and binding upon all men for eternity.
