What does it mean to be not under the law?

Answered in 1 source

To be not under the law means that believers are freed from its condemnation and justified through Christ's righteousness.

Being not under the law refers to the believer's position before God, marked by freedom from the law's condemnation due to Christ taking on the sins of His people. Romans 6:14 signifies that sin no longer has dominion over believers, as they are justified by faith in Christ. This justification brings about a legal declaration of righteousness, indicating that the law's demands are fully met in Christ’s perfect obedience. Consequently, believers live under grace, meaning they are brought into a loving relationship with God rather than simply fulfilling legalistic requirements.
