What is the distinction between the covenant and the law?

Thomas R. Valletta

“The law given to Moses was fulfilled and ended, but the great covenant was still in force and indeed always would be. … The covenant, always part of the gospel of Jesus Christ, was on the earth from the beginning, with Adam and Eve. … It was included in the law given to Moses, but unlike the ritual laws given through Moses, the covenant was not later discontinued. The covenant consisted of all the commandments plus the promises and responsibilities of a covenant people” (Ogden and Skinner, Book of Mormon, 2:180).
