How does the law influence the lives of believers today?

The law continues to have relevance in the life of believers, not as a means of righteousness, but as a guide reflecting God's moral will. As stated in Matthew 5, the law reveals the holiness that God expects and informs believers about what pleases Him. However, the obligation to fulfill the law is now fulfilled in Christ. The obedience that flows from a believer's life is motivated by love for Christ rather than fear of condemnation. This shift from being bound by the law to living under grace transforms the believer’s heart and actions, enabling them to produce works that are a reflection of genuine faith.
