How do we know grace is more important than law?

Answered in 2 sources

Grace transforms our motivation for obedience, as seen in the teachings of Paul, shifting from fear under the law to love under grace.

The distinction between law and grace is pivotal in the New Testament. Under the law, the motivation for obedience often stems from a place of fear, demanding perfection to attain righteousness. Conversely, grace empowers believers to obey out of love, recognizing that Christ fulfilled the law on our behalf. In Romans 10:3, Paul illuminates this truth by explaining that attempting to establish one's own righteousness is futile and contrary to the righteousness of God found in Christ. Therefore, the essence of grace lies in its ability to transform our motives, leading us to joyful obedience.
