If I measure a crooked wall with a perfect plumb line, it reveals the crookedness of the wall, but it does not remove it. If I take out a bright light on a dark night, it reveals to me all the pitfalls and hindrances, but it does not remove them. Now the plumb line and the lamp do not create the evils which they point out. They neither create nor remove, but simply reveal. So it is with the law. It does not create the evil in man's heart; neither does it remove it. However, with unerring accuracy, it reveals it. What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid.
