How do we know the doctrine of freedom from the law is true?

Answered in 1 source

The doctrine is validated by Paul's writings and the transformative faith in Christ demonstrated throughout the New Testament.

Paul's argument in Galatians provides a compelling case for the doctrine of freedom from the law. He challenges the Galatians to reject the Judaizers’ false teachings and reminds them of his own experience of living without the law for the sake of the gospel. He conveys that the law's inability to provide righteousness is evident through his personal testimony and wider teachings in Scripture. Moreover, the New Testament consistently affirms that true acceptance with God comes from faith, not law adherence. This theological perspective finds strong support in the writings of Paul, particularly in his comparative analysis of the Old and New Covenants.
