What does the Bible say about being kept under the law?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible states that before faith came, we were kept under the law, acting as a schoolmaster until Christ fulfilled it.

In Galatians 3:23, it is revealed that before faith in Christ came, people were kept under the law, which served as a guardian or schoolmaster. The law was added because of transgressions and was temporary until the coming of Christ, who fulfilled the law for His people (Galatians 3:19). This demonstrates that the law pointed to Christ and highlights humanity's need for a Savior.
