“Lawbreakers”

Wednesday, December 11, 2013

Where is this verse located?  It's killing me!  I'm pretty sure it's Paul.

"The more we learn about the Law, the more we realize we are not keeping it."

Thank you!

Sincerely,

Dear On The Tip Of My Tongue,

The verse you are looking for is probably Rom 3:20, which points out that "through the law comes the knowledge of sin".  If that isn't the exact verse, the next best place to look would be in Rom 7:7-12 which also discusses the fact that God's laws point out our sins and remind us of how much we need the blood of Christ.  As James reminds us, "For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is become guilty of all." (Jas 2:10).
