The law of God is like x-ray. It has the power to expose, but not the power to heal. Rules change no one. The law of God shows the unreachable distance between what we are and what God originally made us to be. God's law is like a spotlight revealing who and where we are. We sing about that: Amazing grace how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me. This is God's greatest desire, to get us from where we are to where we need to be and it does that through and by His Amazing Grace.
