There is a lot of confusion about what sin is. Many, who have decided that the law no longer has any effect on our lives, are living in total disobedience against God. Jesus is saying that the law is still in existence. God still hates sin; and, the law defines what sin is.

The law still defines what sin is. God hasn’t changed His mind about that.

Rom 7:13 (NIV) Did that which is good, then, become death to me? By no means! But in order that sin might be recognized as sin, it produced death in me through what was good, so that through the commandment sin might become utterly sinful.

That is a lot of what is missing today. We have developed a skewed attitude toward sin. Even though Jesus’ blood covered all our sins and righteousness has been credited to our account, we still have to see sin as being utterly sinful.
