Prayer week 2. My heart is restless untill it rests in you. Love Written in the Heart | The Loud Cry. All mankind is ultimately governed by the conscience which tells us that lying, murder and adultery are wrong. Romans 2:14-15 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;) Every child born into the human race knows he has done wrong when he steals, or lies.
However after the time of the Patriarchs there came a time when God felt it was necessary to add a written account defining sin because men had conditioned themselves to ignore their conscience, i.e. “harden their hearts.” Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator. The Law was added until Christ came. The Roman Soldier Matthew 27:54. Strake Jesuit - Welcome to Strake Jesuit College Preparatory. The Holy See.
