The truths taught in the law are still true today even though the law things are now obsolete.

What do you mean, "the law things"?
I think this is going to lead to things like ....... Even though you are not under the law that prohibited eating pork, would it be better for you if you did not eat pork?
The Law is a yoke of bondage- it puts man under a burden we cannot keep, and curses and damns us for our disobedience.
It is impossible to be fully kept.
It's useful for reproof and correction as Paul stated, which was the case before Christ, but following it is largely fruitless- for the most part it is simply designed to chastise you and that is why Jesus railed against the Pharisees.

The law things are as described here--
Heb 8:1 Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;
Heb 8:2 A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.
Heb 8:3 For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer.
Heb 8:4 For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law:
Heb 8:5 Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount. Heb 8:6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.
Heb 8:7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.
Heb 8:8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
The temporary things of the law pointed to the eternal Heavenly things.
So that the written law is still useful to do that by teaching them.

Not necessarily, because the law concerning not eating things said by God to be unclean refer to not living on the unclean things of those outside of Christ, which the ungodly love.
Mark ch 5.
In other words a man who keeps the law literally but breaks it spiritually, is still condemned.

Every law has a spiritual meaning for us today such as--
Lev 21:17 Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever he be of thy seed in their generations that hath any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God.
Lev 21:18 For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous,
Lev 21:19 Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded,
Lev 21:20 Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken;
Lev 21:21 No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God.
Lev 21:22 He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy.
Lev 21:23 Only he shall not go in unto the vail, nor come nigh unto the altar, because he hath a blemish; that he profane not my sanctuaries: for I the LORD do sanctify them.
Lev 21:24 And Moses told it unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel.
It means Christ makes His people whole in a spiritual sense in order that they can minister in the Holy Place.
Of course Christ was the first perfect man to do so in both senses.
