Why is the concept of being made under the law important for Christians?
Answered in 1 source
Being made under the law is crucial because it underscores Jesus' ability to satisfy the demands of the law on our behalf (Galatians 4:4).
The phrase 'made under the law' emphasizes that Jesus lived in complete obedience to the Mosaic Law, thereby fulfilling its requirements perfectly. This is important for Christians because it highlights His role as our representative; He took on the legal obligations we could not meet. Galatians 4:4-5 explains that by being made under the law, Jesus was able to redeem those under the law. Understanding this helps Christians appreciate the depths of grace and the significance of Christ's work; that He fulfilled the law for us, freeing us from its curse and providing us with righteousness in Him.
