How does the law serve as a schoolmaster?

Answered in 1 source

The law serves as a schoolmaster to guide us towards faith in Christ for justification.

In Galatians 3:24, Paul describes the law as our schoolmaster which brings us to Christ. This metaphor highlights the law's role in instructing us about our sinful nature, leading to a realization of our need for a Savior. The law teaches us what is right and just, but it also shows that we are incapable of fulfilling its demands. Thus, it leads us to Christ, where we find grace and forgiveness. Once faith in Christ is realized, believers are no longer under the schoolmaster, for they have been justified by faith (Galatians 3:25).
