How does faith relate to the law in the life of a believer?

Answered in 1 source

Believers establish the law through their faith in Christ, fulfilling its requirements in Him.

Romans 3:31 challenges the view that faith undermines the law, stating, 'Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.' This affirms that faith in Christ does not nullify the law; rather, it gives us the means to fulfill its requirements through Christ's righteousness imputed to us. By placing faith in Jesus, believers are connected to His atoning work, which meets the law's demands completely. Thus, believers are called to live by faith, which demonstrates the reality of God’s righteous standard being upheld through Christ.
