What are the implications of being under grace instead of the law?

Answered in 1 source

Being under grace means we rely on Christ's righteousness rather than our own works for salvation and sanctification.

The implications of being under grace, as opposed to the law, are profound for the Christian life. Under grace, believers are not bound by the demands of the law for justification or sanctification. Instead, they look to Christ and His finished work as the basis for their righteousness before God. This liberates believers from the burden of trying to achieve moral perfection through self-effort, emphasizing that it's by grace through faith that one is saved and continually grows. Instead of striving to earn God's favor, believers are called to rest in Christ's sufficiency, allowing the Holy Spirit to work within them to produce genuine spiritual fruit reflective of their new identity in Him.
