How do we know that grace is superior to the law?

Answered in 2 sources

Grace is superior to the law because it provides believers with the capacity to live for God's glory, as illustrated in Romans 5.

Paul contrasts the law and grace throughout Romans, particularly emphasizing grace's superiority in Romans 5:17, where he states, 'For if by one man's offense death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.' Here, grace is depicted not merely as an alternative to the law but as the source of power and life for believers. The law exposes sin and brings condemnation, but grace, through Christ, provides forgiveness, empowerment, and the ability to live righteously. This radical transformation enables believers to live in obedience and love, reflecting their union with Christ rather than being bound by a legalistic understanding of righteousness.
