How does Galatians 3 explain the relationship between law and faith?

Answered in 1 source

Galatians 3 teaches that justification comes through faith, not by the works of the law.

In Galatians 3, Paul contrasts the works of the law with faith, asserting that nobody can be justified before God by adhering to the law due to human sinfulness. He quotes Deuteronomy to emphasize that the law demands absolute obedience. However, the righteous live by faith, which means trusting in Christ's atoning sacrifice rather than one's performance of the law for salvation. This introduces the grace of God, which is the means by which believers are saved—through faith in Jesus Christ who fulfilled the law on our behalf.
