Why should Christians not fall back under the law?

Answered in 1 source

Christians should not fall back under the law because it leads to bondage and diminishes the freedom provided through grace.

The New Testament clearly cautions believers against returning to a legalistic mindset after experiencing the liberating grace of Christ. In Galatians 5:1, Paul admonishes believers to 'stand fast in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.' The law, while holy and just, cannot provide the means for righteousness or life; rather, it reveals sin and leads to condemnation. True freedom comes from receiving the grace extended by Christ, which enables believers to live in obedience not out of fear, but from a heart transformed and constrained by love. Therefore, embracing the gospel of grace is essential for living a life that glorifies God.
