How do we know that believers are dead to the law?
Answered in 2 sources
Believers are dead to the law by the body of Christ, meaning they are no longer held under its condemnation.
The doctrine of being dead to the law is rooted in Scripture, specifically in Romans 7:4, which asserts that believers have become dead to the law through the body of Christ. This signifies that the moral, ceremonial, and judicial parts of the law no longer hold authority over them. The law served as a tutor to lead us to Christ, but now that faith has come, believers are no longer under its bondage (Galatians 3:24-25). This freedom does not lead to lawlessness; instead, true believers, having the Spirit of God, fulfill the law through love and obedience out of gratitude for their salvation.
