Romans 4:15 clearly states that “the law worketh wrath,”
but so many people, it seems, do not wish to see this. Even some clergymen tell
us that God gave the Law to help us to be good, when God Himself says the very
opposite; that it was given to show us that we are bad and need a Savior.
“The law worketh wrath.” Every criminal knows this and
every sinner should know it, for the Bible has much to say on the subject. Rom.
3:19,20 declares that the Law was given “that every mouth may be stopped, and
that all the world may be brought in guilty before God,” and this passage goes
on to say:
“Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be
justified in His sight; for by the law is the knowledge of sin.”
II Cor. 3:7,9 calls the Law “the ministration of
condemnation” and “the ministration of death.” Gal. 3:10 says that those who
are “of the works of the law,” i.e., who seek to make themselves acceptable to
God by keeping the Law, “are under a curse,” because the Law can only condemn
them.
Those who approach God, expecting eternal life in return
for “good works” are offering Him their terms — which He will never accept. God
will not sell justification to those already under condemnation for sin. But He
does offer sinners complete justification by grace because:
“Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being
made a curse for us: for it is written; cursed is every one that hangeth on a
tree” (Gal. 3:13).
Thank God, those who trust in Christ, “having redemption,
through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His
grace” (Eph. 1:7), “being justified, freely by His [God's] grace, through the
redemption that is in Christ Jesus” (Rom. 3:24).
