  • Gal 3:18-24 : 18 For if the inheritance depends on the law, then it no longer depends on the promise; but God gave it to Abraham through a promise. 19 Why, then, was the law given? It was added because of transgressions until the Seed to whom the promise was made would come. It was administered through angels by a mediator. 20 Now a mediator implies more than one party, but God is one. 21 Is the law, therefore, opposed to the promises of God? Certainly not! For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law. 22 But the Scripture imprisoned everything under sin, so that the promise, by faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe. 23 Before this faith came, we were held in custody under the law, locked up until the faith that was to come would be revealed. 24 So the law was our guardian until Christ came, so that we might be justified by faith.
