[size=large]What the Law Could Not Do[/size]
However good, the 'law' (the ceremonial law, the moral law, or even both) cannot do for us what we need the most, and that is to provide the means of salvation, a means of saving us from the condemnation and death that sin brings. For that, we need Jesus.
Romans 8:3-4 (New King James Version) "For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit."
What did Christ do that the law, by its very nature, cannot do? God provided a remedy by 'sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh,' and He 'condemned sin in the flesh.' The incarnation of Christ was an important step in the plan of salvation. It is proper to exalt the Cross, but in the outworking of the plan of salvation, Christ
