How do we know the law is good according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

The law is proclaimed as good when it is understood and used lawfully, guiding individuals to recognize their sin and their need for Christ.

Paul declares in 1 Timothy that the law is good if it is used lawfully, indicating its intended purpose is to reveal sin and lead individuals to Christ. While the law commands holiness and love, it cannot impart the ability to fulfill these commands. In this context, the law serves as a schoolmaster, showcasing humanity's need for the grace found in Jesus Christ. This law cannot justify anyone; instead, it highlights our failings and points us towards the one who fulfills the law for us. Understanding the law's role helps believers appreciate the depth of grace they have received in Christ.
