The Moral Law
Eternal Standard
Law and Gospel · 6 verses
The moral law of God, grounded in His eternal and unchangeable character, transcends all cultures, epochs, and dispensations. It is not an arbitrary imposition but a reflection of divine holiness, binding upon all rational creatures in every age. This law, existing prior to Sinai and perduring beyond it, manifests God's righteousness and establishes the immutable standard by which all human conduct must be measured.
