What does the Bible say about believers and the law?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches that believers are not under the law but are free from it through Christ's sacrifice (Romans 6:14).

According to the New Testament, believers are distinctly stated to be free from the law of Moses. As Paul asserts in Romans 6:14, 'ye are not under the law.' This signifies that believers are liberated from the constraints and condemnation of the law concerning justification and sanctification. The law serves a purpose, yet it is not the governing standard for believers in their daily lives; rather, they are called to follow Christ as their ultimate example. Therefore, the law's role is not as a rule of life for believers but rather as something fulfilled in Christ, who is the 'end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believeth' (Romans 10:4).
