If we understand the law properly, we are inevitably led to the LORD’s requirement of true prayer. The law requires sincere communion with the LORD. Because of sin, we know how often we fail in keeping the law. Therefore, we may and must approach the throne of grace to ask for God's help. With the fulfilment of the sacrifices in Christ's work of the cross, we may pray with boldness and confidence, because Christ sits at God's right hand and intercedes for us.
