Before we understood the nature of the God’s law, we could think that we were blameless before God. But, when the spiritual and holy nature of the law is revealed to us, then we see that we have no self-righteousness. Our sin is amplified when we understand the spiritual requirements of the law. The law is holy, just and good. And, our sin is our own. The law is not the cause of our sin; but, when we understand the law, it makes our sin “exceedingly sinful.”
