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

In Galatians 4:1-4, the Apostle Paul illustrates how the law serves as a tutor that guides us until faith in Christ is revealed. While under the law, we are akin to children who are in bondage, as the law's primary function is to expose our sinfulness and our need for redemption. The law cannot provide righteousness; it merely condemns. Its true purpose is to lead us to acknowledge that we cannot achieve salvation through our deeds, hence directing us to rely solely on Christ’s righteousness for our salvation.
