What does Romans say about the law and faith?

Answered in 2 sources

Romans teaches that faith does not nullify the law; rather, it establishes it by recognizing Christ’s fulfillment of the law.

In Romans 3:31, Paul asserts that faith does not make void the law but establishes it. This establishes that while believers are justified through faith in Christ, the law's role remains significant as it reflects God's holiness and justice. The law was fulfilled by Jesus, who perfectly satisfied its requirements, thus liberating believers from the law's condemnation. Consequently, faith leads us to honor the law in acknowledging its divine purpose while resting in the grace provided through Christ's redemptive work.
