Why did God give the law to humanity?

Answered in 1 source

God gave the law to highlight our sin and point us to Christ.

God instituted the law as a means to expose humanity's sinful nature and demonstrate the impossibility of achieving righteousness through their own efforts. According to Galatians, the law acts as a mirror reflecting our sins back to us, revealing how we fall short of God's glory. This divine revelation is purposeful; it directs our hearts to recognize our need for a Savior. Ultimately, the law leads us to Christ, who fulfills the law and provides forgiveness through His grace.
