Summary

This verse highlights the shift in relationship with God brought about by faith in Christ. Before Christ came, the law served as a guardian to lead people to Him, emphasizing the need for righteousness and pointing to the Savior. However, now that faith has come, believers are no longer under the guardian of the law but are justified by faith in Jesus. This verse underscores the transition from the Old Covenant to the New Covenant, where faith in Christ is the key to righteousness and salvation.

Adam Clarke Bible Commentary

But, after that faith is come - When Christ was manifested in the flesh, and the Gospel was preached, we were no longer under the pedagogue; we came to Christ, learned of him, became wise unto salvation, had our fruit unto holiness, and the end eternal life. It is worthy of remark that, as ὁ νομος, the Law, is used by St. Paul to signify, not only the law, properly so called, but the whole of the Mosaic economy, so ἡ πιστις, the Faith, is used by him to express, not merely the act of believing in Christ, but the whole of the Gospel.
