What does the Bible say about the law and sin?

Answered in 27 sources

The Bible teaches that the law reveals our sin and increases our accountability to God, ultimately condemning us and showing our need for a Savior (Romans 3:20).

The Scriptures declare that the law of God was given not as a means to achieve righteousness but to reveal our sinfulness. In Romans 3:20, we read, 'for by the law is the knowledge of sin.' The law serves to increase our accountability to God, highlighting our inability to fulfill its requirements and thus condemning us. As seen in 2 Corinthians 3, the law can also blind us to our need for a Savior, making it clear that we cannot attain righteousness through our own efforts but must instead rely on God's grace.
