The real function of the Law

"... For [the real function of] the Law is to make men recognize and be conscious of sin [not mere perception, but an acquaintance with sin which works toward repentance, faith, and holy character]." Romans 2:20 AMP

I love this verse.  We all fall short of the Law, (Ten Commandments, commands of the Old Testament), but thanks be to Jesus, we have redemption through His blood.  The Law isn't to condemn ourselves and feel like failures, The Law is to make us better people, and when we fall, we get right back up and do our best to do better, to change our character more and more into the likeness of Christ.  None of us are perfect, although we try so hard to be; only God is perfect, all we can do is strive to do our best to be more like Him everyday.  So, be proud of who you are, and Whose you are.  Nobody else is better than you, luckier than you, more blessed than you, more regarded than you... in Christ we are all equal.  Begin to focus on your abundances, (love, gifts, talents, possessions, etc.),  and stop focusing on your lack.  I believe, as you do, your abundances will multiply and your lack will be no more.  Praise God.
