What is the relationship between the law and the believer's life?
Answered in 1 source
The law serves to reveal sin, but believers are governed by the Spirit, not by a legalistic observance of the law.
In the life of a believer, the role of the law changes significantly. While the law is holy, just, and good, it is not the guiding principle for Christians. As indicated in Romans 8:7, the carnal mind cannot be subject to the law of God. Instead, believers are led by the Spirit, who empowers them to fulfill the righteous requirements of the law through a life of faith in Jesus Christ. The law serves as a mirror to reflect our sinfulness and our need for grace, but in Christ, believers find freedom from condemnation and are freed to serve God willingly and joyously, following the promptings of the Holy Spirit.
