What does the Bible say about grace and the law?

Answered in 8 sources

The Bible teaches that grace and the law are distinct, with salvation coming through grace alone, negating any reliance on works.

The Bible presents a clear distinction between grace and the law, particularly in 2 Corinthians 3, where it states that believers are not under the law but under grace. This means that salvation comes solely through God's sovereign grace and not by human works. The law serves as a minister of death, highlighting our inability to meet its demands, while grace provides life through faith in Christ, who fulfilled the law perfectly on our behalf. The law cannot justify anyone or impart righteousness; it only reveals our sinfulness and need for Christ, affirming that salvation is a gift from God.
