What does it mean to not be under law but under grace? (Romans 6:14)

In the New Covenant, no longer is the condemnation of sin (1 Peter 1:9; Romans 8 ) the master over the man or woman who has trusted in Jesus as Messiah (Romans 6:14). The Law (both codified and spiritual) that condemned them (James 2:10) has been fulfilled by Messiah Jesus and having trusted in Jesus as Savior by faith, the perfection and righteousness of Jesus via His blood atonement (1 Peter 1:18-19) has been gifted-imputed over their life, eternally, (2 Corinthians 5:21) through grace (unmerited favor they could never earn-a divine gift) by the Father who, by New Covenant promise, declares them “not guilty” (Hebrews 8:12). Elohim the Father declares by New Covenant promise that the one who trusts-believes in the Son, Jesus, as Messiah is forgiven of sin, past-present-future, eternally.
