Why can't we be justified by the law?

Answered in 1 source

We cannot be justified by the law because it demands perfect obedience, which no one can fulfill.

The law serves to reveal sin rather than provide a means for justification. As stated in Galatians 3:10, everyone who relies on the law is under a curse because the law requires complete obedience to all its commands. This principle is echoed throughout the New Testament, where it is clarified that justification is unattainable through human effort or adherence to the law. Instead, salvation and righteousness come through faith in Christ, who fulfilled the law perfectly on our behalf. Understanding that we cannot be justified by the law keeps us humble and reliant on God’s grace, further emphasizing the necessity of Christ's sacrificial death for our redemption.
