What does it mean that we are not under the law but under grace?

Answered in 1 source

To be not under the law but under grace means that our relationship with God is based on Christ's work rather than our adherence to the law.

Being 'not under the law but under grace' is a critical doctrine in Reformed theology, particularly articulated by the Apostle Paul in Romans 6:14. This means that believers, redeemed by Christ, are no longer bound by the law as a covenant of works but have entered into a grace covenant through Christ. The law cannot save, condemn, or motivate us toward righteousness; instead, our actions are now inspired by love and gratitude towards God. This freedom from the law allows us to live for Christ, as our lives are directed by grace rather than legal obligation.
