Being freed from the law means that believers are no longer under the law's condemnation, as they are justified by faith in Christ.
Believers are freed from the law in that they are no longer bound by its demands for righteousness. Paul explains in Romans 6:14 that believers are not under the law but under grace. This liberation means that sin no longer has dominion over them because Christ has satisfied the law’s requirements through His perfect obedience and sacrificial death. In Galatians 5:1, Paul urges believers to stand firm in this freedom, warning them against being entangled again with the yoke of bondage. This freedom from the law does not imply a license to sin but instead empowers believers to live in the Spirit, producing the fruits of righteousness consistent with their new identity in Christ.
