Paul defends the God's complete grace by posing its opponents' question, "Is the Law sinful?" Paul answers that the problem is not the Law, but how it is being used--as a remedy instead of a diagnostic tool to point us to our need for God. Paul says the Law exposes our slavery to sin, and instead of this defeating us, it can cause us to look to God in dependence for His awaiting provision--forgiveness through Christ and His empowerment to move out of enslaving sin.
