The Moral Law

The heart of the moral law is the axiom “Do good and avoid evil.” Without this, there is no way to go from the indicative mood to the imperative. Without this key, you can prove that something is evil, but that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t do it.

Implicit in this axiom is the fact that the distinction between good and evil is very real and very important. Good is something that must be done and evil is something that must be avoided.

Today, most people seem to believe the lie that there is nothing good or evil of itself and “good” and “evil” are meaningless words. This is a dangerous situation because these people are easily manipulated through their emotions and are unable to think about what is truly the right or wrong thing to do.
