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

Paul's teaching illustrates that while the law increases the awareness of sin, it is through grace that believers find true redemption. Romans 5:20 emphasizes that the law entered to make offenses abound, highlighting humanity's sinful state. However, he immediately reassures that 'where sin abounded, grace did much more abound' (Romans 5:20), indicating the superabundance of God's grace that overcomes sin. This demonstrates that the law cannot bring life or righteousness, but it is by God's grace through faith in Christ that we are saved.
