How do we know that the Gospel is superior to the Law?

Answered in 1 source

The Gospel is superior to the Law because while the Law was given through Moses, grace and truth come through Jesus Christ, bringing redemption and healing.

The comparison between the Gospel and the Law is made clear in Scripture, particularly in John 1:17, which states that 'the law was given by Moses but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.' The Law, though holy and good, could not justify or heal; it served more as a schoolmaster, leading individuals towards Christ (Galatians 3:24). In stark contrast, the Gospel reveals the complete truth about redemption and the fullness of God's grace through Jesus's sacrifice. The Law wound but could not bind up, whereas the Gospel offers healing and salvation.
