Can the law give life according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

No, the law cannot give life; it only reveals sin and leads to death.

The Bible clearly states that the law cannot give life. In Galatians 3:21, it asks, 'Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.' The law is described as weak because it cannot empower us to attain righteousness or eternal life. Instead, it shows us our sinfulness and points us to Christ, who is our life and righteousness, freeing us from sin and death.
