The Old Testament Law, which reveals God's standard, does not have life and there is no possibility of the preaching and practice of legalism to ever bring humankind to God's level of righteousness.  God's life is necessary to give us the power (dunamis, dynamite) to rise to His standard.  That's the tragedy of what satan's perversion of the church's message has accomplished: a church in name without God's life.  The perverted church can only produce what the Old Testament Law was designed to produce: guilt.
