How does Christ's fulfillment of the law affect believers?

Answered in 1 source

Believers are justified before God through faith in Christ, not by the law (Galatians 3:24).

Christ's fulfillment of the law transforms the relationship that believers have with God. As Galatians 3:24 suggests, the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. This means that, in Christ, we are no longer under the law's condemnation; rather, we are granted access to divine favor based on His righteousness. His fulfillment of the law allows believers to stand justified before God, receiving grace and acceptance not through adherence to the law, but through faith in the one who has perfectly fulfilled all requirements on our behalf. This understanding liberates Christians to live in accordance with the Spirit rather than the letter of the law.
