What is the purpose of the law? It's in the Bible, NIV. "Through the law we become conscious of sin." Romans 3:20,
Are we saved by keeping the law? It's in the Bible, Romans 3:27-31, The Living Bible: "Then what can we boast about doing, to earn our salvation? Nothing at all. Why? Because our acquittal is not based on our good deeds; it is based on what Christ has done and our faith in Him. So it is that we are saved by faith in Christ and not by the good things we do. And does God save only the Jews in this way? No, the Gentiles, too, may come to Him in this same manner. God treats us all the same; all, whether Jews or Gentiles, are acquitted if they have faith. Well then, if we are saved by faith, does this mean that we no longer need obey God's laws? Just the opposite! In fact, only when we trust Jesus can we truly obey Him." Romans 3:27-31.
King James Version: Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law. Romans 3:31
