Why is the law contrasted with grace in the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

The law highlights our inability to achieve righteousness, while grace offers salvation through faith in Christ (Hebrews 10:1-4).

The law serves to reveal our sinfulness and inability to meet God's standards, as noted in Hebrews 10:1-4, which explains that the law is a shadow of the good things to come and cannot perfect those who draw near. Grace, on the other hand, is the means by which we are saved and sanctified through the sacrifice of Christ. The preacher emphasizes that we need to understand this dichotomy to appreciate the fullness of salvation—law reveals our guilt, while grace provides our justification. The significance of Christ lies in His fulfillment of the law on our behalf, thereby liberating us from its curse and fulfilling all righteousness.
