Now, isn't that a trend to obey the law? Does this mean that the law does not contribute to the existence of social order? The ten commandments of God were given to Moses on Mount Sinai for days. (Deut. 5: 6-21) It was not easy for these people to get passengers on orders.
How can you apply the law? As St. Paul states, "the command is good if used in the right way." (1: 8)
It may help if the meaning of the law. According to Summa Theological by Sto. Thomas, "the law is a principle of reason set by the authoritative and in the authority of the public good."
TWO boundary characteristics: First, the boundary is implemented in a single perspective, and second, it complements the underlying improvements. For example, do not blame, respect for truth, do not kill - not respect for one's life.
In the meantime, moral law provides the criteria for deciding how a person should act. It also contributes to human moral development such as the shaping of conscience. It also provides stability and constant order in human life. Moral law should not be mistaken for legal. A law is legal if it does not conflict with any national law. The moral standards of the Bible are clearly stated. Because the people of Moses' day were very obedient to the law or became legalistic. The outward adherence to the letter of the law was corrected by the Good News that Jesus preached.
Natural Law, on the other hand, expresses God's wisdom in his created human nature. It is a sum of rights and duties directly derived from human nature (CCC, 1954-60). It should not be confused with social norms, assumptions or national laws. Coupled with each other's conscience is a law of nature. The order that God made in man is written in the human heart. It also has direct moral values and teachings that can be generalized to all people of good will. Because many become lawful it is necessary to look at natural law in the following aspects:
Moral living is based on truth and good works and not blind obedience to the law; it is historical and experienced, it pertains to the human nature of self-relation, of society and of its development. It has to do with the specific nature and consequence of independent action and, it is personal.
On the whole, it is said that natural law can help people do good and avoid evil, because natural law is universal, unchanging.
