What does it mean that Christians are free from the law?

Answered in 1 source

Christians are free from the law because Christ fulfilled the law on their behalf, as affirmed in Romans 8:2.

The freedom Christians have from the law is rooted in the understanding that Christ has fulfilled the law's demands on their behalf. Romans 8:2 states that the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set them free from the law of sin and death. This freedom implies that believers no longer live under the burden of trying to earn their salvation through law-keeping, but instead experience the empowering grace of Christ, which liberates them to live according to the Spirit. The law, while once a means of condemnation, now reveals its true purpose as a tutor that guides individuals to Christ, who provides the righteousness they cannot achieve on their own.
