How does the law relate to Christians today?

Answered in 1 source

For Christians, the law exposes sin but does not serve as a means to obtain righteousness since Christ has fulfilled it.

In the life of a Christian, the law serves as a mirror, revealing our shortcomings and the depth of our sinfulness, as emphasized in Romans 3. The law was not given to justify us; rather, it was established to highlight our need for a Savior. With Christ having fulfilled the law perfectly, believers are no longer under its curse but have access to righteousness through faith in Him. In Christ, believers are seen as having fulfilled the law due to His perfect obedience, making the law's relationship to our lives one of gratitude and love rather than obligation or fear of condemnation.
