How do we know that justification cannot come by the law?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible clearly states that no flesh will be justified by the deeds of the law (Galatians 3:20).

In Galatians 3:20, Paul definitively argues that justification cannot be attained through the law, as the law only serves to reveal sin, not to save from it. He cites Genesis to demonstrate that no physical human being can justify themselves through works, affirming the doctrine of justification by faith in Christ alone. This principle is reiterated in Romans 3:20, which states that by the deeds of the law, there is the knowledge of sin rather than righteousness, reinforcing the idea that salvation is a gift of grace and cannot be earned.
