DO WE WASH OUR FACE WITH THE MIRROR?

When a man looks in the mirror and sees that his face is dirty, does he use the mirror to wash his face?  Of course not!  Nor when we look into the mirror of God’s law and it declares us guilty, should we attempt to use it to wash ourselves. The law was only given to be a mirror, to give us a knowledge of our sin and declare us guilty. (Rom 3: 19-20) Then God’s grace makes us flee to that fountain opened for sin and uncleanness, Christ Jesus, whose blood washes our scarlet sins as white as snow. (Zec 13: 1; Is 1: 18)
