What does the Bible say about the law as a schoolmaster?

Answered in 1 source

The law serves as our schoolmaster until faith in Christ comes, leading us to justification by faith.

According to Galatians 3:24-25, the law was our schoolmaster, serving a specific purpose until Christ came. The law's role was to reveal sin and guide us towards the need for justification by faith. Once faith in Christ is realized, believers are no longer under the law's authority or its condemnation. The law was fundamentally meant to point out our inability to achieve righteousness on our own, ultimately directing us to reliance on Christ's work for salvation.
