Why do we still have to follow the moral laws in the Old Testament?

Because Gods morals do not change, He is the same God as before, as now

(A cool thing to remember is that God isn’t a rule book, He’s a person. And that’s nice to know when thinking about moral dilemmas. Ex. Divorce isn’t good, but He isn’t gonna force you to live with someone who’s beating you Y’know, He is understanding, a person, not a rulebook. Don’t forget though, if you can’t justify it to Him, you are guilty.)
