How do we know that we are free from the law?

Answered in 5 sources

We know we are free from the law because Scripture explicitly states that believers are dead to the law and alive to God through Christ (Romans 7:4).

Romans 7:4 states, "Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God." This verse illustrates that through Christ's sacrifice, believers have been made dead to the law, signifying freedom from its penalties and commands. The relationship we now have with Christ is one characterized by grace rather than legalism. This freedom enables believers to walk in newness of life, producing fruit for God rather than striving to meet legal requirements. Thus, our assurance comes from recognizing unity with Christ and His complete fulfillment of the law.
