How does the law relate to salvation in scripture?

Answered in 1 source

The law serves to show humanity's inability to achieve righteousness on their own and points to the need for grace through Christ.

The law was given to reveal sin and demonstrate that no one can attain righteousness through their efforts. Galatians 3:24 indicates that the law acts as a tutor to lead us to Christ, showing our need for salvation through grace. In Acts 15, the apostles addressed whether Gentiles must follow the law to be saved, concluding that adding the law as a requirement for salvation negates the grace of God. Thus, the law highlights our sinful nature and our utter dependence on Christ for forgiveness and righteousness.
