How do we know that grace is more powerful than the law?

The encounter in John 8 between Jesus and the adulterous woman reveals the supremacy of grace over the law. The law demands justice and condemnation for sin, yet grace provides a means of escape from that condemnation. When Jesus tells the woman that He does not condemn her, He fulfills the law by taking the condemnation upon Himself. This act of grace not only protects the sinner but also highlights the purpose of the law—to lead individuals to Christ and demonstrate their need for a Savior. Thus, grace triumphs as it provides forgiveness, hope, and a new life.
