How do we know the law of Moses is an administration of death?

Answered in 1 source

The law of Moses is described as an administration of death because it reveals our inability to fulfill its demands, leading to condemnation.

In the context of Deuteronomy and throughout the New Testament, the law is declared as an 'administration of death' (Romans 3:19). This means that while the law reveals God's righteous standard, it simultaneously shows our utter failure to meet that standard due to sin. Therefore, the law brings knowledge of sin and condemnation rather than life. For those under the law, it becomes a mirror reflecting human depravity and the need for a Savior. Acknowledging the law's true purpose leads believers to the grace and salvation found in Jesus Christ, who fulfills the law on our behalf.
