The Bible teaches that the law was our schoolmaster to bring us to Christ, but believers are no longer under the law since grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
The Scriptures affirm that the law given to Moses serves a limited purpose; it reveals sin and leads us to Christ for justification by faith. As Paul notes in Galatians, once faith has come, we are no longer under the law as our guide. In contrast, the grace brought by Jesus Christ fulfills the law's demands, allowing believers to live under a new covenant marked by the law of the Spirit of life that gives freedom from sin and death. This transformation emphasizes that the righteousness of believers is rooted solely in Christ's perfect fulfillment of the law, not in their own efforts.
