What is the purpose of human law? Among other things, human law staves off chaos and reflects the values of a culture. What is the purpose of God's Law, as given to Moses at Mt. Sinai? To bring moral perfection? To bring salvation? In his discussion of Adam and Christ, the apostle Paul informs us that God's Law shows us that we are sinners, even increasing our rebellion against God. And God purposed all of this to show the super-abundance of His grace through Jesus Christ.
