Alma 25:15-16
15 Yea, and they did keep the law of Moses; for it was expedient that they should keep the law of Moses as yet, for it was not all fulfilled. But notwithstanding the law of Moses, they did look forward to the coming of Christ, considering that the law of Moses was a type of his coming, and believing that they must keep those outward performances until the time that he should be revealed unto them.
16 Now they did not suppose that salvation came by the law of Moses: but the law of Moses did serve to strengthen their faith in Christ; and thus they did retain a hope through faith, unto eternal salvation, relying upon the spirit of prophecy, which spake of those this to come.
Can I just say: I love this scripture! For these people to keep the law of Moses, helping them look forward to the coming of Jesus Christ just blows my mind how incredible their faith really is. I hope I too can be have the faith these people had relying on the spirit of prophecy. I am also so glad that we have the Savior's example to follow now that the law of Moses has been fulfilled.
