Why is understanding the end of the law important for Christians?

The text makes it clear that Christ is the fulfillment of the law (Romans 10:4), which liberates believers from the bondage of trying to earn salvation through law-keeping. This is particularly relevant for Christians as it reassures them that their salvation does not depend on their adherence to the law but on Christ's finished work. Paul warns against returning to the law’s condemnation, emphasizing that the law has no power to redeem or justify. Therefore, understanding that Christ ended the law for righteousness allows believers to rest in the sufficiency of His sacrifice and to embrace their identity as free from the law's demands.
