What is the relationship between grace and the law in Christianity?

Answered in 1 source

Grace does not abolish the law but fulfills it, empowering believers to live righteously.

In the Reformed perspective, grace is foundational to the believer's life and leads to genuine obedience. Paul writes in Galatians that we have been called to liberty, emphasizing that the law is fulfilled in one word: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself' (Galatians 5:14). This reflects the heart of the law, seen as a guide rather than a means of earning salvation. Believers are led by the Spirit to fulfill the law's righteous requirements, demonstrating that genuine faith produces works through grace, not under the bondage of legalism.
