What does Galatians 3:24 mean is not that the law teaches us our
need for a Savior?
By: guest24 Date: January 14, 2020, 10:34 am
---------------------------------------------------------
A much longer title then I wanted to post but since so many
refuse to read the OP before responding I guess it's the only
way.
Galatians 3:24 King James Version (KJV)
24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto
Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
If this doesn't mean that the law is there to show us our need
for a Savior, what does it mean? Please make sure to keep it in
context which I didn't post the whole thing here since so few
read it anyway.

Good evening Lori..
It would be prudent to go back to the beginning context of the
paragraph to find the answer(s).
Galatians 3:21-25..(KJV).."Is the law then against the promises
of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which
could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by
the law. [color=blue]V22...But the scripture hath concluded all
under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be
given to them that believe. V23...But before faith came, we were
kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should
afterwards be revealed. V24...Wherefore the law was our
schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified
by faith. V25..But after that faith is come, we are no longer
under a schoolmaster."[/color]
Lori, I have underlined your verse 3:24 to keep us inline with
your question.....
To begin the chapter, Jesus is speaking to the Galatians who are
questioning the law vs faith....Rem, the time period and the
Jews who for many generations have been under the LAW of MOSES.
They have no idea what Justification by faith is much less that
it will take the place of animal sacrifice to cover/remove their
sins..
In verse. 23 Jesus ask the question: [color=red]"Is the law then
against the promises of God?" and then answers it with a NO
(God forbid:) [/color]
Jesus then explains to them that the Law could not give life
thus righteousness was not to be found. In verse 22. Jesus
tells them that scripture imprisons man with His sin
([color=red]But the scripture hath concluded all under sin), but
the promise of Faith in Jesus Christ frees us of that sin..(that
the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that
believe.)[/color]
in Verse 23...Jesus tells them, before faith, the law kept us
([color=red]before faith came, we were kept under the law,)
until Faith was revealed (shut up unto the faith which should
afterwards be revealed.)
[/color]
Then in Verse 24..Jesus tells them the law taught them what was
sin, who GOD was ([color=red]the law was our schoolmaster to
bring us unto Christ) [b]until the time when faith would justify
us.[/b] (that we might be justified by faith.)
Finally in verse 25..Jesus reminds them that Faith has been
revealed, the LAW is no longer needed. (But after that faith is
come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.)
[/color]
Lori..Your answer is here: As stated in verse 24; The law taught
them (Jews) for centuries what was sin as shown to them by GOD
and it also showed them the nature of GOD in preparation
(unknown to them) for what would be revealed at a later date,
Justification by faith. In verse 25, we find the Law of Moses
is no longer needed now that time has arrived.

so...you then agree that it means that the law teaches us that
we need a Savior?

No Lori because back then, there were plenty of OT saints that
followed the LAW as best they could including the animal
sacrifices to cover their sins. By the Grace of GOD, they found
themselves waiting (for the unknown) in Abram's Bosom. They were
taken HOME by Jesus at His death.....
By the Grace of GOD (God, Jesus, Holy Spirit) everyone on earth
is saved. Was the Law needed for that Grace to occur....NO! For
1500+ years happen prior to God giving Israel the Laws of Moses.
Grace/Mercy was shown throughout the centuries regardless of
the Law.

who goes to hell then? And yes scripture talks about some going
to hell....and what do you do with the passages that say "it was
counted to them as righteousness"?
You are really confusing me with your claims that when scripture
says the law teaches us that we are far from God that it doesn't
mean we are far from God.

show me the passages you are speaking of and I will give you my
interpretation of them....!!!!!!!!!!!
Like I said; there are many ways to interpret the previous
single scripture you quoted. I just simply read and
interpreted it literally along with the context of other verses
around it.

I provided the passage and it clearly says that the law is our
schoolmaster to teach us what is right and wrong in God's
eyes....sure the context goes on to explain we are no longer
under the law but being under the law is vastly different from
learning from it....so your question is what does it mean if not
that we are given the law to teach us about our need for a
Savior....notice I said our need for a Savior, not our need to
obey the law to earn salvation...

You did not read what I said...did you????some things are for us
and many things are for the Jews at that time period...They
sometimes gives us good guidance. This was one of them...
If this scripture tells us anything then it might be "Works of
the Law " are not part of or not needed. It is faith and Faith
alone.

If....the law was their schoolmaster to teach them to come to
Christ in faith...how is that different from the message to us
today, when we consider the law was the word of God to His
people?
and yes I did read what you said but I still don't see the

The Law did not teach them or us to come to Christ in faith...It
taught what sin was and the character of GOD/Jesus Himself. It
was for the Jew at that time for they were having to change from
the Law which was around for centuries. Unlike you and me, we
were born in the "Age of the Church". We were taught by our
parents, church, etc. what sin looked like and who GOD
was...They (the Hebrews of old) did not have that luxury.
We are told from birth that if we love and believe in Jesus we
will be saved. yet they (most of them in the 1st century) live
under the Laws of Moses and then along came Paul and told them
to change.......Can you Lori see that.
