What does it mean to be under law to Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Being under law to Christ means living in obedience to His teachings as a response to grace.

To be under law to Christ refers to the believer's commitment to live according to the teachings and commandments of Jesus, motivated by the grace bestowed upon them, rather than by a system of ritualistic laws. Galatians 5:18 states that if we are led by the Spirit, we are not under the law, indicating that our obedience flows from a heart transformed by the grace of God. In this new covenant relationship, the law of Christ, rooted in love, is written on the believer’s heart, guiding them in their moral and ethical living. Thus, being under law to Christ encompasses not merely following rules but embracing a lifestyle that reflects our love and devotion to Him.
