What does it mean that the law is weak through the flesh?

Answered in 1 source

It means that the law cannot change our sinful nature but exposes it; true change comes only through Christ.

Romans 8:3 asserts that 'for what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh', indicates the law's inability to effect change in our corrupt humanity. The law reveals sin, motivating awareness of our need for grace but lacks the power to transform our hearts. Only through the work of Christ—who fulfilled the law and succeeded where we failed—can we gain victory over sin. This highlights the necessity of a divine intervention for true regeneration and spiritual transformation, which is beyond the reach of the law.
