Beza on the Law of the Creator

"The fact is, the Law was not given to justify us (for if this were so, Jesus Christ would have died in vain, as St.Paul says; Gal.2.21, 3.18-21) but, on the contrary, to condemn us, and to show us the hell which is opened wide to swallow us, to annihilate and totally abase our pride, in making the multitude of our sins pass before our eyes and showing us the wrath of God which is revealed from Heaven against us (Romans 1.18, 4.15; Gals.3.10,12).

            --Theodore Beza, from The Christian Faith (1558)
