The law of Moses was fine-tuned to perfection. Every jot and tittle, from the smallest letter to the smallest stroke of that letter, was flawlessly crafted and was to be honored as such by perfect adherence. The pressure and impossibility of keeping up the pace of perfection is what makes God’s gift of grace so extravagant – By faith in what Jesus did you are considered righteous, without any consideration of your law-keeping ability!
