ANSW. The moral law is the declaration of the will of God to
mankind, directing and binding every one to personal, perfect, and
perpetual conformity and obedience thereunto, in the frame and
disposition of the whole man, soul and body, and in performance of
all those duties of holiness and righteousness which he oweth to God
and man; promising life upon the fulfilling, and threatening death
upon the breach of it.
QUEST. XCIV. _Is there any use of the moral law to man, since the
fall?_
ANSW. Although no man, since the fall, can attain to righteousness
and life by the moral law; yet there is great use thereof, as well
common to all men, as peculiar, either to the unregenerate, or the
regenerate.
