What is the relationship between the law and grace for believers?

Answered in 2 sources

For believers, the law serves to show their need for Christ, while grace offers salvation through faith in Him (Romans 6:14).

Romans 6:14 encapsulates the relationship between the law and grace: 'For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.' This indicates that while the law serves to expose sin and highlight the believer's need for a Savior, it no longer governs the believer's relationship with God. Instead, grace enables believers to live in freedom from the law's condemnation. The law's true purpose was to lead us to Christ, who fulfilled the law on our behalf. Believers are called to live under grace, emphasizing a relationship characterized by love and acceptance rather than by fear and obligation to keep the law perfectly.
