The foremost office or power of the law is that it reveals inherited sin and its fruits. It always shows human beings into what utter depths their nature has fallen and how completely corrupt it is.—SA II:III:2:4
Moreover, the Gospel does not give consolation and forgiveness in only one way—but rather through the Word, sacraments, and the like (as we shall hear), so that with God there is truly rich redemption from the great prison of sin.—SA II:III:3:8.
