What does the Bible say about the role of the law?

Answered in 4 sources

The Bible teaches that the law, as given through Moses, is essential for understanding sin and God's righteousness.

The law is foundational in revealing God's standards and the nature of sin. It was through the law that the Israelites learned about God's holiness and their need for atonement, serving as a mirror that reflects their moral failures. Moses emphasized its relevance by commanding its reading at the Feast of Tabernacles, indicating that the law should be taught and remembered across generations. Without the law, humanity would struggle to comprehend the nature of sin and the need for a Savior, as seen in Romans 3:20, where Paul states that through the law comes the knowledge of sin.
