Question concerning the Law and God’s righteousness: “HOW TRUE IT IS THAT NO ONE CAN KEEP THE TEN COMMANDMENTS OF YAHWEH?”

Christian response,

Mankind is born with a sin-nature passed through the genome of our first father, Adam (Romans 5:12), while the Law mandates perfection (James 2:10; Galatians 3:10); therefore, the Law only defines sin and condemns mankind void atonement (Romans 3:20); therefore, the Decalogue and the 613-Laws of the Covenant could never provide life but pointed mankind to the righteousness and holiness of God which is unattainable through the works of the Law while impressing upon the faithful their need for an Intercessor. God the Father provided that Intercessor through the hypostatic union (Philippians 2:6-8) and anyone who believes in Him, Jesus Christ, as Lord and Mediator for sin will find life through the atonement and imputed righteousness (2 Corinthians 5:21), a righteousness and atonement which the Law could never provide (Galatians 2:16).
