Is the Law then contrary to the promises of God? May it never be! For if a law had been given which was able to impart life, then righteousness would indeed have been based on law.We Christians, like everyone else, like to live by a code. In our case, that code is spelled out in some detail, though not as much as many of us want. The Jewish Law, however, is a much more detailed and strict code than we live by.
Even with this strictness, it wasn't enough. The Law couldn't take away our sins, it merely made them aware of those sins, and pointed to the need for a Savior. In this, God is being completely consistent, as He always is.
