What does it mean to be free from the law in Christianity?

Answered in 1 source

Being free from the law means that believers are no longer under its condemnation but live under grace through faith in Christ.

Christ’s fulfillment of the law and His sacrificial death grant believers freedom from the demands of the law. Romans 8:1 states that there is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. This indicates that through Christ’s sacrifice, believers are no longer bound by the law's curses or penalties but are instead encouraged to live in the freedom of grace. This freedom denotes that while the moral law reflects God’s character and guides our conduct, we are not justified by our adherence to it, but solely through faith in Christ, who has fulfilled it on our behalf.
