The word 'law' in 1 John 3:4 does not specifically mean the Mosaic law but any law or command God has revealed; Gentiles had moral law before Moses

Mike Winger LIVE Q&A on Theology, Apologetics and the Christian Life 00:42:28 – 00:42:58

Response to question about whether Christians must keep the Mosaic Sabbath since sin is the transgression of the law

Winger argues against equating every biblical use of 'law' with the law of Moses. In 1 John, sin as transgression of the law means sinning against any divine command. Romans also notes Gentiles have a law to themselves even before Mosaic law existed, confirming that 'law' is a broader category than the Torah.
