Why do we still uphold God's law if we are saved by grace?

Answered in 1 source

Romans 3:31 states that our faith does not void the law; rather, we uphold it by loving God and desiring to obey Him.

Despite being saved by grace, Christians are called to uphold God's law, not as a means of salvation, but as an expression of love and respect for God. Romans 3:31 poses the question of whether faith nullifies the law, followed by a strong, resounding 'God forbid.' This suggests that while we are not justified by the law, God's moral standards remain invaluable as they guide us in our relationship with Him. The law reflects God's character and His desires for His people. Therefore, our obedience stems from gratitude for salvation and our love for Christ, motivating us to live in accordance with His will. Upholding the law signifies honoring God and recognizing the goodness of His commands.
