The law was established by God as the mark of excellence. The term sin which the Lord uses to decribe fallen man's nature can be best describe in archery terms "to miss the mark".
The common ground of all humanity is this "all have sinned and have come short of the glory of God."
With God being the judge of all person's according to his law there was none righteous no not one.
The sentence of death had to be carried out for it was the law. For breaking one meant breaking all.
The law is a reminder that we have a just and holy God, that his love and mercy towards us is without measure.
That his grace towards us came with a high price which he paid in full. Our very souls are his treasure.
The law that was once written in stone by his finger are now written on our hearts as a reminder of what has been done for us
Establishing grace at his expense.
Before the foundations of the world he had made provision to save his children knowing that their innocence would be corrupted.
The law holds no more death sentence over us for we are at peace with it's true giver.
Let us not serve the law but love the giver of it for he has freed us of it's grip.
