How do we know the law is not applicable to Christians?
Answered in 1 source
The New Testament consistently affirms that believers are free from the law, as emphasized by Paul's epistles (Romans 7:4).
The assurance that believers are not subject to the law is firmly rooted in the teachings of Paul, particularly in Romans 7:4 where he states that 'we are become dead to the law by the body of Christ.' This theological stance underscores the belief that through Christ's death and resurrection, believers are released from the law's demands and penalties. Attempts to isolate parts of the law and selectively apply them are rejected, as they contradict the comprehensive freedom that Christ has provided. No segment of the Mosaic law remains a binding rule for believers, affirming their standing in grace rather than legalism.
