Although properly we are moving into the sphere of Theology, nevertheless, the logical ordering of man's reason and the motion of matter in which he dwells, is so excellently lit by Revelation that nature and man's rigorous scientific descriptions of it reflect back the validity of that Revelation. None of what follows is excluded from what is available to any nation or social grouping although it is expressed and collated superbly in the context of the Christian deposit of faith. The Moral Law is a work of Divine Wisdom. Its biblical meaning can be defined as fatherly instruction, God's pedagogy. It is at once firm in its precepts and, in its promises, worthy of love.
Law is a rule of conduct enacted by competent authority for the sake of the common good.
The moral law presupposes the rational order, established among creatures for their good and to serve their final end, by the power, wisdom and goodness of the Creator. All law finds its first and ultimate truth in the eternal law. Law is declared and established by reason as a participation in the providence of the living God, Creator and Redeemer of all. The moral law finds its fullness and its unity in Christ. Jesus Christ is in person the way of perfection.
