Galatians 3:24-5 (NKJV)
Therefore the law was our tutor [to bring us] to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.

‘But after faith has come’
That being, that state of life Paul was addressing when he said ‘I am again in travail for you till Christ is formed in you’….. Or, being the same truth put forth in different words, that state of life where one has learned to live by faith, i.e. ‘after faith has come’….
For scripture says, Christ is the fulfillment of the law, knowing that Christ is the fulfillment of the law, this does not therefore change the requirements of the law, it just changes how those requirements are fulfilled…
For the law itself remains as the standard of what is right or wrong, for the tutelage of this standard is to continue to teach one to have faith in Christ, so that one might learn to trust Him in all areas of life so that by faith, He might live His life in and through one to the fulfilling of the law…
For one being directed to right and wrong is an on going process, for after one has partaken of the new birth, the law continues its work directing one to be perfected by faith in Christ…
For the Spirit convicts according to the standard of the law of right and wrong, this is the conviction one senses in their innermost being when God is working in an area of life to bring one closer to the expression of Christ… This tutoring by the law is to bring one to be willing to give up one’s will and embrace God’s will in the area God has His finger on at the moment, that being, that one might turn to Him and trust Him in that area that His will might be done….
For it is from faith to faith one is called to, from this degree of trusting in God to a deeper degree of trusting in God… For there are only two choices possible in every set of circumstances, one being the manifestation of God’s will, the other being the manifestation of own will… For God uses the law to show one one’s need to be made anew in all areas of life, thereby, so that one might stay turned to Him in faith that this faith might bring to life a greater manifestation of Christ in the life…
For the life of self is that life that is under the law, one being separated from that life by faith in their death in Christ is the salvation offered in Christ, which death, frees one from own will, thereby freeing one from the guardianship of the law, being the constant director to bring one to a deeper trusting of Christ whereby one is to be perfected….
For the life of Christ being brought to life in the time remaining in the body is the Christ being formed in one, for living by faith is given to grow this Divine Life in one…. For to the degree one lives by faith to that degree is one not under the tutelage of the law…
For the law, being the tutor, is there nudging one onto perfection, may it have its perfect work in the heart of all those that would have the will to be perfected by faith in Christ….
Be blessed in experiencing the ‘after faith has come’…..
