Why is faith more important than following the law?

Believers are called to walk by faith, looking to Christ for their righteousness rather than relying on the law. In Romans 1:17, it states that 'the just shall live by faith.' The law demands perfection, and since no one can fulfill it completely except for Christ, it becomes clear that faith in Him is our only path to righteousness. The law was designed to point us toward Christ, as it cannot justify us but instead shows us our faults. By placing our faith in Christ, who has fulfilled the law on our behalf, we receive grace and are counted as righteous before God.
