What does it mean to establish the law as a Christian?

Answered in 1 source

Establishing the law means affirming its goodness and purpose in guiding believers to live righteously, as enabled by grace.

Establishing the law as a Christian refers to recognizing and affirming the law's role as a standard for moral conduct, while understanding that it is not the basis for salvation. Romans 3:31 instructs that faith does not negate the law's importance; instead, believers embrace the law as it reveals God's character and His expectations for holy living. Through grace, Christians are enabled to fulfill the righteousness that the law calls for, not out of obligation, but from a heart transformed by God’s love and mercy.
