The Purpose Of The Law Pt. 4 | Lesson 48 | Bible Study

Paul explains the transitional role of the Law from a custodian to an obsolete guardian upon the arrival of faith through Christ. Initially, the Law acted as a strict overseer, keeping sinners aware of their transgressions and the need for a savior, akin to a custodian (paidagógos) overseeing a child. This custodianship was crucial during the pre-Christ era, helping believers anticipate the atonement that Christ would fulfill. However, with Christ’s sacrifice, believers, now justified by faith, no longer require the Law’s guardianship. They have matured into full sons of God, inheriting freedom from the Law's strictures and enjoying a direct, faith-based relationship with God. This transition illustrates the fulfillment of the Law's purpose—leading humanity to Christ and thereby making its rigid demands and guardianship unnecessary in the Age of the New Covenant.
