If you read the book of Galatians, about the time you get to the middle of it, you may think, considering what Paul has just said, that it is a very logical question.

Paul begins to talk about the law, but he does so in a way that almost puts it down. And after you hear that, you can't help but wonder, well, then why did God give the law?

He continues his seeming tirade against the law. It cannot justify. You cannot receive the Holy Spirit by it, nor can you be matured in your faith by it. But it gets worse, remember yesterday in Chapter 3, verse 10.

For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse of the law. For it is written, cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them”.

Not only can the law not perform, if you're under the law system, but you are actually under a curse. And he goes on to say, in verse 13, that only Christ can redeem you from this curse of the law.

Now, you can't read this without asking, well, then why did God give the law? That is a very logical and natural question. proceeding out of all that he has had to say up until this point.

Let's see what he has to say…..
