How does the concept of antinomianism relate to grace?

Answered in 1 source

Antinomianism, which rejects the moral law, is a misunderstanding of grace that can lead to a disregard for God's commandments.

Antinomianism is often recognized as a theological error that arises from a misunderstanding of grace. It posits that since we're saved by grace, the moral law is no longer relevant, allowing people to live without consideration of God's commands. However, true grace clarifies that while we are not justified by the law, God's law still provides a framework for how Christians should live. It serves as a guide rather than a means of earning salvation. Grace enables believers to pursue holiness in response to God’s love, rather than as a transactional requirement for justification. This proper understanding protects against the extremes of legalism and antinomianism, helping Christians to live faithfully under the lordship of Christ.
