How do we know the prohibition against mixed fabrics is still relevant today?

Answered in 1 source

Although the prohibition in Deuteronomy 22:11 was specific to Israel, its underlying principle of maintaining spiritual purity still applies to Christians today.

The command in Deuteronomy 22:11 against mixing fabrics may not apply directly to Christians in a ceremonial or legal sense, but it conveys a crucial principle that God's people are to maintain distinctiveness and purity in their lives. Historically, this led the Israelites to understand that God is a God of order and distinction, as demonstrated in Creation and the natural order. In the New Testament, this principle is echoed as believers are called to separate themselves from worldly influences and to avoid being unequally yoked with unbelievers, as seen in 2 Corinthians 6:14. Therefore, the underlying message about preserving holiness stands relevant today for Christians tasked with ensuring their lives reflect the nature of Christ.
