To Help Us Recognize Our Sins and The Consequences Romans 3:20 ”20 Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin.”   God graciously gave us His Law to bring awareness to our sinful nature and to illuminate the consequences of our actions.

Romans 3:20 affirms that "By the law is the knowledge of sin," emphasizing that the Law was not intended to impose strict adherence but to illuminate our shortcomings.   Where Can You Find the 613 Articles of the Law in the Bible? The comprehensive list of the 613 commandments from God can be found in the Torah, which encompasses the first five books of the Hebrew Bible. These books are B’Resheet (Genesis), Sh’Mot (Exodus), Vayikra (Leviticus), B’Midbar (Numbers), and D’Varim (Deuteronomy).
