What does the Bible say about the allegory of law and grace?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that the allegory of law and grace is exemplified through the covenants represented by Hagar and Sarah in Galatians.

In his epistle to the Galatians, Paul illustrates the allegory of law and grace using the figures of Hagar and Sarah. Hagar represents the covenant of works, which is based on human performance and ultimately leads to bondage, as seen in Galatians 4:21-25. On the other hand, Sarah symbolizes the everlasting covenant of grace, which is founded on God's promises and results in freedom for believers. This allegory demonstrates the distinction between two types of religion—one characterized by striving for justification through the law, and the other resting in the grace provided by Christ's finished work.
