How do we know the law is no longer binding for Christians?
Answered in 1 source
We know the law is no longer binding because Jesus fulfilled its demands and established a new covenant through His blood.
The transition from the old covenant to the new covenant, highlighted in passages like Luke 22:20 and Hebrews 13:20, indicates that the law, which was external and condemning, has been superseded by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. Jesus' sacrifice not only satisfied the demands of the law but also inaugurated a new way of relating to God, enabling believers to experience His laws written in their hearts (Jeremiah 31:33). This means that Christians live not under the regime of the law, which produces death, but under the regime of the Spirit, which brings life and enables genuine obedience and love.
