CONCLUSION
The Law cannot save or sanctify anyone. If that was all that was needed Israel would not have sinned so soon after being delivered and promising to keep the law.
We need more than a promise to God to obey Him.
We need a new life and new heart.
We need a better Mediator than Moses.
We are provided one in Jesus.
