How do we understand the relationship between law and grace?

The relationship between law and grace in the life of a believer is fundamentally that grace supersedes the law. Romans 6:14 points out that 'For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.' This means that the believer's justification is not based on adherence to the law but solely on Christ's finished work. Therefore, while the law reveals sin, it is grace that empowers the believer to live righteously. This recognition is essential; by understanding they are under grace, believers can walk in freedom without the burden of the law's condemnation.
