The Law of Moses serves as a guide to help individuals recognize their sinfulness. It establishes the standard for sin, enabling people to understand what constitutes sin and revealing that,<ref name="죄">[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans%203%3A20&version=NIV Romans 3:20]</ref> because of their transgressions, they are inevitably destined for death.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+6%3A23&version=NIV |title=Romans 6:23|quote= }}</ref>   

{{quote5 |내용=What shall we say, then? Is the law sinful? Certainly not! Nevertheless, '''I would not have known what sin was had it not been for the law.'''

Once I was alive apart from the law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died. . . . Did that which is good, then, become death to me? By no means! Nevertheless, in order that sin might be recognized as sin, it used what is good to bring about my death, so that '''through the commandment sin might become utterly sinful.'''|출처=[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans%207%3A7%E2%80%9313&version=NIV Romans 7:7–13]}}

Apostle [[Paul]] described the Law of Moses as a “[[guardian]]” that leads to Christ.
