What does the Bible say about the role of the law in salvation?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches that the law reveals sin and shows our inability to earn salvation, pointing us to Christ for redemption.

According to Galatians 3:21-24, the law was given not to save, but to expose our sins and highlight our need for a Savior, which is fulfilled in Jesus Christ. The law serves as a 'schoolmaster,' guiding us to the realization that we cannot achieve righteousness on our own, thereby leading us to faith in Christ. As Romans 7:13 states, the law makes sin 'exceedingly sinful,' illustrating our total depravity and reliance on God's grace.
