Why did God give the law if no one can keep it?

Answered in 1 source

God gave the law to highlight our sinfulness and demonstrate our need for a Savior.

The law was given to show humanity's transgressions and reveal the impossibility of attaining righteousness through works. Galatians 3:19 states that the law serves to make sin exceeding sinful, illustrating the gap between God's holiness and our moral shortcomings. The law's purpose is not to provide a way of salvation but rather to point us to Christ, who fulfilled the law perfectly for us, making us conscious of our need for His grace.
