Why is the law given if we are saved by grace?

Answered in 1 source

The law was given to reveal sin and our need for a Savior, serving as a temporary measure until Christ fulfilled it.

The purpose of the law, as articulated in Galatians 3:19, is twofold: to expose transgressions and to highlight the need for redemption through Christ. The law serves to magnify our sinfulness, demonstrating that no one can achieve righteousness through works (Romans 5:20). It was never intended to save but to point to our need for a Savior, which is ultimately satisfied in Jesus Christ, who fulfilled the law's demands. This relationship between the law and grace emphasizes that while the law reveals sin, it is grace through faith in Christ that provides salvation.
