"Think about it. Don’t you remember what it was like before you came to Jesus? The Law started out as an excellent piece of work. What happened, though, was that sin found a way to pervert the command into a temptation, and made it a piece of “forbidden fruit.” The Law, instead of being used to guide me, was used to seduce me. Without all the paraphernalia of the Law, sin looked pretty dull and lifeless, and I went along without paying much attention to it. However, once sin got its hands on the Law and decked itself out in all that finery, I was fooled, and fell for it. The very command that was supposed to guide me into life was cleverly used to trip me up, throwing me headlong. So sin was plenty alive, and I was stone dead. But the law code itself is God’s good and common sense, each command sane and holy counsel” - Romans 7:8-12 - (Phillips Translation)
