The Purpose of the Law, the Wickedness of the Human Heart, and the Beauty of the Gospel of Jesus Christ

"Wherefore the work of Satan is, so to hold men that they come not to know their misery, but that they presume that they can do all things which are enjoined. But the work of Moses the legislator is the contrary, even that by the law he might discover to man his misery, in order that he might prepare him, thus bruised and confounded with the knowledge of himself, for grace, and might send him to Christ to be saved."

Martin Luther
