How do we know the law reveals our guilt?

Answered in 1 source

The law reveals guilt by exposing the sinful nature of our hearts, as even thoughts and feelings are subject to God's judgment.

In the sermon, it is asserted that the law’s true purpose is to reveal our guilt before God. As Jesus teaches, anger towards a brother is judged as murder in the heart, and lustful thoughts are akin to committing adultery. This shows that God's law is not merely about what we do outwardly, but what we think and feel internally. The realization that all fell short of God's glory brings believers to understand their need for grace. The law serves to inform us of our failures, leading us to Christ, who fulfills the law on our behalf (Romans 3:20).
