What does boasting in the law mean for believers?

Answered in 1 source

Boasting in the law suggests self-righteousness and a misunderstanding of salvation.

Paul cautions against the arrogance of boasting in the law, especially among those who believe their outward adherence qualifies them for salvation. In Romans 2:23, he states that making a boast of the law while breaking it dishonors God. True righteousness is not found in external compliance with the law but in a humble recognition of our inability to uphold it, thus leading us to rely solely on the grace of God through Jesus Christ, who is our righteousness.
