Question 14: Did God create us unable to keep his law?
Answer: No, but because of the disobedience of Adam and Eve we are all born in sin and guilt, unable to keep God’s law.
Question 15: Since no one can keep the law, what is its purpose?
Answer: That we may know the holy nature and will of God, and the sinful nature and disobedience of our hearts; and thus our need of a Savior. The law also teaches and exhorts us to live a life worthy of our Savior.
