What does the Bible say about establishing the law by faith?

Answered in 1 source

Romans 3:31 explains that faith does not nullify the law but establishes it.

In Romans 3:31, Paul emphasizes that faith in Christ does not render the law void; rather, it establishes it. This means that believers, through their faith in Jesus, recognize the perfect righteousness of God and their inability to meet that standard on their own. This faith does not lead them back to the law for justification but enables them to understand the law's purpose: to reveal sin and the need for a Savior. Thus, we establish the law by acknowledging God's holiness and our sinfulness while trusting solely in Christ for our righteousness, as underscored in Romans 7, where Paul expresses his struggle with sin while affirming the law's validity.
