God’s perfect law covers every aspect of our lives! No one, no matter how moral or religiously fervent, can keep it perfectly. Paul wrote, “By the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin (Romans 3:20). Keeping the law cannot save us, rather through the law, we become aware of our sins (Romans 3:7-12). That is why God sent His Son to save us. We need the righteousness of Jesus because we cannot be justified through our good deeds. Therefore Paul said, “we conclude that a man is justified by faith apart from the deeds of the law (Romans 3:28). If we put our faith in Christ, we can say with Paul, “Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven and whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord shall not impute sin” (Romans 4:7-8). God’s laws show us the need that only God’s grace can supply — Romans 3:10
