they had to keep the law
Not for salvation, they didn't.
Here is what the Lord Jesus told the Jews who lived under the Law in the past dispensation:
"Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life" (Jn.5:25).
We can see that same truth here, as witnessed by the Lord Jesus' words spoken to a woman:
"And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven. And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also? And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace" (Lk.7:48-50).
