The Law Makes Sin Worse

Romans 5:20-21

The law was brought in so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more, so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (NIVUK)

Some people think that the definition of sin is "breaking a law". But no! Adam, Noah and Abraham did not have the law of Moses, but they were still sinners. Sin is rebellion and disobedience to the Word of God. The Old Testament law was added later. It does not create sinfulness but defines the offence so that an appropriate punishment can be prescribed. So then, the law makes sin more obvious with a known punishment which is to be feared.
