Spurgeon on Law and Sin

"Law does not make us sinful, but it displays our sinfulness. In the presence of the perfect standard we see our shortcomings. The law of God is the looking glass in which a man sees the spots upon his face. It does not wash you-you cannot wash in a looking glass; but it prompts you to seek the cleansing water. The design of the law is the revealing of our many offenses, that, thereby, we may be driven out of self-righteousness to the Lord Jesus, in whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sin."

Charles Spurgeon
