Just because the Moral Law is unable to restore the broken relationship with God does not mean it is without value. Just as physical laws create order in the universe, so spiritual laws create order in a nation. Many countries have rejected the biblical code of conduct at the risk of living in a morally-neutral society. No such society truly exists. No such civilization has ever survived. To take no stand is, in effect, to take a position. The rejection of biblical absolutes has resulted in a callousness towards wrong, with each generation becoming more comfortable with sin. The Bible teaches that this will eventually lead to chaos.

Agreed. As C.S. Lewis describes in Mere Christianity, innate moral law is one of the tools we can use to know that God does exist and that his attributes and character are good. It’s really too bad that we’ve taken such a relativistic stance in this country and don’t stand for anything anymore.

Cross’ quote resonates with John Colquhoun’s “A Treatise on the Law and Gospel”, available here: http://www.monergismbooks.com/A-Treatise-on-the-Law-and-Gospel-p-18409.html
