How do we know that God's law is still relevant for Christians today?

Answered in 2 sources

God's law remains relevant as it reveals the holiness of God and underscores the need for Christ, even though it cannot save.

The relevance of God's law for Christians arises from its function in revealing God's righteousness and demonstrating humanity's need for a Savior. In 1 Timothy 1:8, the Apostle Paul affirms that the law is good if used lawfully, suggesting that it serves a purpose in restraining wickedness and culminating in Christ's fulfillment of that law. The law acts as a guide, pointing believers to their need for grace and the reality of salvation found only in Jesus, who fulfilled the law’s demands perfectly. This understanding enables believers to appreciate the law’s role in their spiritual growth, while recognizing that salvation rests solely in Christ’s finished work.
