The Bible states that the law is not of faith, implying that righteousness cannot be obtained through the law.
In Galatians 3:12, it is clearly stated that 'the law is not of faith.' This indicates that the requirements of the law cannot lead one to salvation or righteousness before God. Instead, faith is the means through which believers are justified. The law serves to expose our sinful nature but provides no power to redeem or transform us. When we try to achieve righteousness through the law, we fall under its curse, as it demands perfection and complete obedience, something we are incapable of fulfilling due to our sinful state.
