What does the Bible say about being under law versus under grace?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches that believers are not under the law but under grace, meaning they are justified by Christ's work, not their own efforts.

Romans 6:14 clearly states that believers are not under the law but under grace. This signifies that their relationship to God's law has changed due to Christ's sacrifice. Rather than being motivated by fear of punishment or legal obligations, believers are now motivated by love and gratitude for the grace they have received through Jesus Christ. The concept emphasizes that since Christ has fulfilled the requirements of the law and paid the penalty for sin, believers are free from the law's dominion and can now live in obedience out of thankfulness rather than obligation.
