Romans 3:19-20, By the Law is the Knowledge of Sin
The law of God showed to Israel how inadequate they were in meeting the standard of God’s righteousness. How they failed miserably. Indeed, when we look at the Ten Commandments, it reminds us we are sinners needing our Saviour. Apostle Paul concluded rightly the function of the law, “Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.” (Galatians 3:24) It leads us to Jesus Christ, the One who would fulfil all righteousness on our behalf on the cross.
