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

Answered in 2 sources

The law shows us our sin and leads us to Christ, but believers are now under grace, not the law.

In Scripture, the law serves as a diagnostic tool, revealing our sinful state and need for redemption (Romans 3:20). It points us toward Christ, functioning as our schoolmaster to bring us to Him. Upon believing, we are no longer under the law but are recipients of God's grace, which allows us to live in the righteousness of Christ. Romans 7:4 illustrates this transition, stating that believers are dead to the law and instead are united with Christ. This new relationship ensures that while the law is still holy and just, it no longer has dominion over the believer because we are now under the grace of Christ.
