How does grace relate to the law in the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

Grace fulfills the law by allowing believers to rest in Christ's completed work.

Grace is the cornerstone of the believer's relationship with God, serving to fulfill the law's demands through Christ's atoning work. As stated in Hebrews 8:6, Christ provides a better covenant founded on better promises, where our standing before God is based on His grace rather than our ability to keep the law. The law was intended to show us our sin and inadequacy, leading to despair unless we find hope in Christ. In Christ, we are no longer under the law's condemnation; instead, His grace allows us to rest from our works, trusting wholly in His finished work for our salvation.
