How does understanding Moses help in recognizing our need for Christ?

Moses’ teachings emphasize God’s holy requirements and the impossibility of achieving righteousness through human effort. This understanding makes it clear that the law is meant to lead us to despair of self-sufficiency and recognize our need for a Savior. By revealing our sinfulness, Moses' writings make the need for Christ acutely evident; we cannot fulfill the law’s demands, thus the law serves a pedagogical purpose—to lead us to Christ, who fulfills the law on our behalf. This highlights the vital role of faith in Jesus as our sole means of salvation.
