Galatians 3:24

In those days, rich families had slaves. Some of the slaves would look after the young children in the rich family. The slaves took the children to the children’s teachers. And the slaves guarded the children on the way. The slaves also trained and controlled the children. When the child became an adult, he did not need the slave any more. The slave did not control the adult child. Paul said that the *Jewish law was like the slave. It taught people how to behave. It controlled people’s behaviour until Christ came. But the law could not give people a right relationship with God. Only Jesus Christ can do that.
