The practice of the law has a bigger and more significant purpose than just revealing sin.In the Old Testament time of Hosea, the people think, let's just go through the motions and that way we will be justified before God. But God says, I desire steadfast love, not sacrifice. I desire knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings. What does this mean? He's saying that the motions are not the point. The letter of the law points to something greater. And what it does is it reveals his heart.
