What does it mean that we are dead to the law?

Answered in 1 source

Being dead to the law means it no longer condemns us.

To be dead to the law means that through Christ's death and resurrection, we are no longer under its curse. Romans 7:4 clarifies that believers are dead to the law by the body of Christ, symbolizing that we are released from its demands and condemnation. This truth should not lead to careless living, but rather to a life of faith that produces love and good works, underlining that our acceptance and standing with God rests solely on Christ's finished work.
