What does the law reveal about sin according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

The law reveals sin and our inability to attain righteousness on our own.

In Romans 5:20, Paul clarifies that 'the law entered, that the offense might abound,' meaning that the law is a mirror reflecting our sinful state. It exposes our guilt but does not provide the means to remove it. The law exists to show us that we are dead in sin and in need of a Savior. This realization is vital so that we do not rely on our own righteousness but instead celebrate the grace that comes through Jesus Christ, who fulfilled the law on our behalf.
