How do we know the law is not a means of justification?

Answered in 1 source

Galatians 2:16 states that no one is justified by the works of the law, emphasizing salvation by faith in Jesus Christ.

The apostle Paul consistently argues throughout his letters, especially in Galatians 2:16, that justification cannot be attained through the law. This principle is rooted in the understanding that the law highlights sin rather than redeems. Paul asserts that if righteousness could come through the law, then Christ's sacrifice would be meaningless. Thus, righteousness is only found through faith in Jesus Christ, illustrating that the law's purpose was never to justify but to point to the necessity of faith.
