The purpose of the law

"What, then, was the purpose of the law? It was added because of transgressions until the Seed to whom the promise referred had come." (Gal 3:19)

The Seed is the Son of God, our Lord Jesus Christ. God knows that we cannot save ourselves and so He gave us His beloved Son. But because of our pride, He gave us the law so that we can come to our senses that we need a Savior. Now that the Savior has come and we, who have accepted Him, do not need the law anymore. Live a life by the Spirit we shall overcome the flesh. Hear Him!
