To provide a comparison, we included a bar showing all 613 mitzvot in the Torah (at the top) and what many modern Christians consider as "relevant" commandments today (at the bottom). This list of accepted commandments for Christians contains things like the prohibition of murder, idolatry, and adultery, as well as commandments regarding morality, forbidden sexual relationships, oaths, and general criminal/law principles. [Maximize your browser window to enlarge the chart, and you can hover over it for more details.]
Our key observation is this: there is no single individual (including Messiah!) to whom all 613 mitzvot would have applied. "Fulfilling the Law" (Matthew 5:17) is not dependent upon performing all of the commandments of the Law.
The Law, itself, prevents that possibility.
If you'd like to learn more about the commandments in each category, I created an interactive visualization of all of them. A more detailed study of each commandment in my section on the 613 commandments.
