How does the law relate to grace in the life of a believer?

The relationship between the law and grace is foundational to understanding the Christian faith. While the law reveals our sin and our inability to fulfill its demands, grace provides the solution through Christ. As noted in Romans 5:20, 'Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound.' Grace does not negate the law's righteousness; instead, it fulfills it through Christ's perfect life and sacrifice. As believers, we don’t rely on the law for our standing before God but on the grace that comes through faith in Jesus Christ, who alone reconciles us to the Father.
