How does the law apply to Christians today?

Answered in 1 source

The law serves to reveal our sin and point us to Christ, but believers are not under the law as a covenant (Galatians 3:24-25).

For Christians, the role of the law is to expose our inability to achieve righteousness on our own, guiding us towards faith in Christ. Galatians 3:24 tells us that the law was our schoolmaster to bring us to Christ, showing us our need for a Savior. Once we are justified by faith, we are no longer under the law as a covenant. Instead, the law's moral principles remain, guiding believers in their conduct, but they do this not through obligation but through the love of Christ, which empowers them to fulfill the righteous requirements by walking in the Spirit.
