How does the law relate to the gospel and judgment?

In stark contrast to the law, which reveals our inability to fulfill God's standards, the gospel presents the hope found in Christ’s sacrifice. The law demands perfection, but it can only condemn us by highlighting our transgressions (Romans 3:19). However, the gospel assures us that Christ has fulfilled the law's requirements and taken upon Himself the penalty for our sins. Therefore, at the judgment seat, believers will not be evaluated based on their conformity to the law but by the sufficiency of Christ's work on the cross as their only plea. This understanding liberates believers from the burden of the law and invites them to rest in Christ’s finished work.
