How do we know that Christians are free from the law?

Believers are considered dead to the law by the body of Christ, as articulated in Romans 7:4. This union with Christ signifies that His death on the cross has fulfilled the law’s demands, thus releasing us from its curse (Galatians 3:10). By recognizing this truth, we understand that our acceptance before God is based on Christ's obedience and righteousness, not our adherence to the law. This provides a foundational assurance that we are justified and no longer under the law’s jurisdiction, allowing us to serve in the 'newness of the Spirit.'
