"The law was added so that the
trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more,
so that just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through
righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." (Romans
5:20-21)
The law did not encourage obedience,
rather it magnified disobedience. Law merely indicated the sickness; grace
brought about the cure.
-- Philip
