How does the law relate to our sinfulness?

Answered in 1 source

The law reveals our sinfulness, making us aware of our need for a Savior.

In Romans 3:19-20, the law serves to show us our guilt before God. Paul states that the law speaks to those under it 'that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world become guilty before God.' The law cannot save; rather, it reveals the extent of our sinfulness and inability to achieve righteousness through our own efforts. This emphasizes the importance of grace, as the law leads us to understand our need for the salvation that is found in Christ alone.
