What does it mean to keep the law according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

Keeping the law means to hold it in reverence and strive to follow God's precepts, rather than viewing it as a means of salvation.

In the context of the Bible, to keep the law is not merely to adhere to a set of rules but to respect and honor God's commands as a guiding principle for life. The law is not discarded; rather, believers are called to revere it and aim to follow its dictates out of love for God. This understanding is rooted in the acknowledgment of human inability to fulfill the law perfectly, as seen in Romans 3:20 where it states that by the law comes the knowledge of sin. Christians recognize that Christ fulfills the law on their behalf and as a response to such grace, they endeavor to uphold God's statutes in their daily lives.
