Why shouldn't Christians fear the law?

Answered in 1 source

Christians shouldn't fear the law because it is fulfilled in Christ and guides them to live in love rather than condemnation.

Christians are not to fear the law because, through Christ, the law has been fulfilled and no longer serves as a means of condemnation. In Romans 6:14, we see that believers are under grace rather than law; hence, the law does not operate as a covenant that demands perfection but rather as a guiding principle that expresses God’s expectations. The transformative work of grace equips believers with a new nature, writing the law on their hearts, enabling them to desire obedience from love instead of fear. Therefore, rather than seeing the law as a curse, Christians can appreciate it as a tool that clarifies God’s will and fosters love toward others.
