How should believers view the law after Christ's fulfillment of it?

Answered in 1 source

Believers should view the law as fulfilled in Christ, which serves to reveal sin but cannot justify or guide their lives.

After Christ's fulfillment of the law, believers should understand the law's role as one that exposes sin rather than justifying them. Romans 3:20 tells us that 'by the law is the knowledge of sin.' The law serves its purpose by highlighting our inability to achieve righteousness through our works. Once Christ has fulfilled the law, it no longer serves as a standard for justification for believers. Instead, the law is honored in its intended role which points to the need for a Savior. Believers, therefore, should live in the freedom found in Christ, trusting in His righteousness, and expressing that through love and obedience out of gratitude rather than obligation to the law.
