Why is the law important for understanding our need for grace?

Answered in 1 source

The law exposes our sin and underscores our need for grace, showing that we cannot achieve righteousness on our own.

The law serves as a mirror to reveal our sinful nature and inability to meet God's perfect standard. Romans 3:20 states that by the deeds of the law, no flesh will be justified in God's sight; rather, the law's purpose is to give knowledge of sin. This realization drives us to seek mercy through Christ, who fulfills the law's demands on our behalf. Understanding the role of the law is crucial to grasping the depth of grace offered to us through the gospel (Romans 10:4).
