Romans 3:19-20 (ESV)
19 Now we know that whatever the law says it speaks to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and the whole world may be held accountable to God. 20 For by works of the law no human being will be justified in his sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin.
The law is the physical equivalent of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil as foreshadowed in the garden of Eden. It is that knowledge that allows us to choose between the two.
Adam was like a child in that he did not know and was easily deceived by the serpent. Mankind has now reached the age of accountability, for the law teaches us the difference and the difference between the light and the darkness.
