Answer Details
The function of the law to believers before the coming of Christ was that of a custodian. In other words, the law served as a guardian or tutor, to lead people to Christ. The law was given to show people what sin is and to reveal their need for a savior. The law also provided guidelines for living a righteous life, but it was unable to save people from their sins. Therefore, the law pointed to Christ, who was the only one who could fulfill the law and provide salvation for all who believe in Him.
