Why does the Bible say the law was added because of transgressions?

Answered in 1 source

The law was added to reveal sin and its consequences, guiding people towards the need for faith in Christ.

In Galatians 3:19, the Apostle Paul states that the law was added because of transgressions until the promised seed, Christ, would come. The law serves as a mirror that reflects humanity's sinful nature and inability to achieve righteousness through their own efforts. It exposes the depths of sin and drives individuals to acknowledge their need for a Savior. This crucial role of the law emphasizes that salvation is not through works but solely by faith in Jesus Christ's redemptive work.
