Question 40

What did God at first reveal to man for the rule of his obedience?

Scripture

  1. Romans 2:14–15 [1]
    For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law. They show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness, and their conflicting thoughts accuse or even excuse them (ESV)
  2. Romans 10:5 [1]
    The Message of Salvation to All For Moses writes about the righteousness that is based on the law, that the person who does the commandments shall live by them. (ESV)
