What does it mean that Christians are under grace, not the law?

Answered in 1 source

Being under grace means believers are not bound by the law but are empowered by God's Spirit to live righteously (Galatians 5:18).

Living under grace, as described in Galatians 5:18, signifies a radical transformation in how believers relate to God's moral standards. While the law was given to reveal humanity's inability to achieve righteousness on their own, grace through Christ provides the necessary means to live according to God's will. The believer's walk is not dictated by legalistic rules but by the dynamic influence of the Holy Spirit. This liberates Christians from the guilt of failing to keep the law and motivates them to pursue righteousness out of love and gratitude towards God. It transforms duty into delight, making obedience an expression of their relationship with Christ rather than a burdensome obligation.
