What does Romans say about the relationship between the believer and the law?

Answered in 1 source

Romans teaches that believers are no longer under the law's dominion but are free to live in the Spirit.

In the book of Romans, particularly in chapters 6 and 7, Paul presents the profound truth that believers have been delivered from the law's governance. Romans 6:14 states, 'For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under the law but under grace.' This indicates that the law serves to reveal sin and cannot justify; rather, Christ's sacrificial death and resurrection liberate believers from the law's condemnatory power. Consequently, it allows believers to serve God in the Spirit, producing fruits of righteousness, living not by the letter of the law but in the newness of life that comes through grace.
