What is the significance of being dead to the law?

Answered in 1 source

Being dead to the law means that believers are no longer under its condemnation but are freed to live in grace.

The concept of being dead to the law is pivotal in understanding the believer's relationship with God's commandments. Colossians 2:14 explains that Christ has 'blotted out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us.' This indicates that through Christ's death, believers have been released from the penalty and power of the law. They are not bound by it for salvation, as it was fulfilled in Christ. Instead, they live under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, which empowers them to lead lives reflecting God's righteousness. This dynamic, grounded in union with Christ, is a profound assurance for believers, allowing them to live in a state of grace.
