What does Romans say about the law and faith?

Answered in 1 source

Romans teaches that the law cannot justify us; rather, faith in Christ establishes the law (Romans 3:31).

The Apostle Paul in Romans intricately explains the relationship between the law and faith. The law was never intended to justify men; rather, it reveals sin and points to the need for a Savior. By contrast, faith in Christ fulfills the requirement of the law. Romans 3:31 states that we do not void the law through faith; instead, we establish it, as our faith acknowledges Christ's perfect obedience to the law on our behalf, enabling believers to stand justified before God.
