What is the relationship between grace and the law?

Answered in 1 source

Grace supersedes the law, freeing believers from its condemnation and enabling them to live righteously.

The relationship between grace and the law is foundational to understanding the Gospel. Romans 6:14 states that sin shall not have dominion over believers because they are not under the law but under grace. This signifies a fundamental shift from being bound by the law, which highlights sin, to being liberated through grace, which empowers righteousness. Grace does not nullify the moral standards of the law; rather, it fulfills them through Christ's work and enables believers to live in accordance with God's will. Thus, grace is not a license to sin, but the very means by which believers can strive for holiness, living out the righteousness that the law demands.
