How do we know the Ten Commandments are not the believer's rule of life?

Answered in 1 source

The Ten Commandments expose sin rather than serve as the believer's rule of life, as only Christ fulfills the law.

While many might traditionally view the Ten Commandments as the primary directive for a believer's life, in reality, their role is to expose sin rather than to provide a standard for righteous living. The speaker emphasizes that, since no one can keep the law perfectly, aligning one's life solely with the commandments would leave us in a dire state of failure. The believer's true rule stems from being in Christ, whose righteousness fulfills the law on behalf of believers. Righteousness is found not through law-keeping but through union with Christ, who satisfies the law's demands. Hence, the believer's rule is rooted in the grace received through faith in Christ.
