The Law functions as a revealer, not a savior. Today on The Message of The Cross, Pastor Loren Larson and panel discuss how the law exposes sin and points us to our need for Christ. The struggle Paul describes in Romans 7 becomes very real. The answer in Romans 8 shows where victory comes through the work of the Holy Spirit as faith is anchored in what Christ accomplished at the cross. The Law remains God's righteous standard, but the believer's confidence rests in Christ rather than in his or her ability to keep the Law perfectly. The commandment is not the enemy; sin is. The Law exposes the problem, while Christ provides the solution.
