It should be obvious, @Tong2020, that in Hebrews 8:8-10 specifically, the Old Testament law is written on the hearts and in the minds of those who are alive under the New Covenant.
Maybe address that passage.
Other passages that address this issue are Hebrews 10:16, Romans 8:7, Romans 8:4, 1 John 5:3, 2 John 1:6, Romans 13:8-10; Romans 5:5.
Romans 8:7 applies to Gentiles as well as Jews and is in conjunction with Hebrews 8:8-10. So does Romans 8:4.
If you want to make a distinction between the law of Moses and the law of Christ, the law of Christ is more burdensome and the only reason why His yoke is easy and His burden is light is because we have the Holy Spirit. The law of Moses is included in the law of Christ (Matthew 5:17-20) and the law of Christ (Matthew 5-7) brings the law of Moses down to the nitty gritty in addressing heart issues where the law of Moses only addresses what is external.
