What does the Bible say about the believer's relationship to the law?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that believers are dead to the law, and the law is dead to believers, emphasizing justification through faith in Christ alone.

According to Galatians 2:17-19, the Apostle Paul explains that the believer's relationship to the law is one of death. The law is fulfilled in Christ and has no further place in the life of a believer for justification or as a rule of life. Paul asserts that if a believer seeks to be justified by the works of the law, they effectively make Christ's sacrifice of no effect, as true justification comes solely through faith in Jesus. The law was good and holy but was meant to point to Christ, and now believers must recognize that they are spiritually alive to God and dead to the law.
